On that basis it seems unlikely that they could use them for any form of accountability.<br /><br />This suggests that the labels are printed in nominal sheets of 24 pairs. The numbering 'barrels' (old term!) could be used to number sequentially in a stack, so each nominal sheet of 24 would have widely different numbers. Without this there seems to be little point as any number could have been sent to up to 24 different offices.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-35687937999960804342011-05-16T14:41:40.486+01:002011-05-16T14:41:40.486+01:00I had a look at some labels in my local PO today a...I had a look at some labels in my local PO today and saw that the serial numbers are on every sheet and appear on the reverse side between the two labels.
