This page shows Mandolin Quartette #11487, which is the highest numbered Mandolin Quartette to be marked with a small red cross, although according to the indicated dates it is not the last one so marked to be shipped.

This ledger page illustrates the later tendency to append the standard column mark with certain important attributes for an instrument, such as an "F" for flute pipes, "V" for violin pipes and "X" for roll changer. This page also demonstrates the odd use of "F" in both a standard and reversed (or backwards) format, depending upon who was making the ledger entry.

Wurlitzer 10,000 series ledger page #294. This ledger page further illustrates the use of one or two appended characters to the omnipresent column mark, alphabetic characters that indicate the type of pipework and/or if a roll changer is installed. It should be kept in mind that the application of appended attribute characters is inconsistent, oftentimes within the same page. At the beginning of the ledger there are no appended characters suggesting special attributes, although there are occasionally added marks, such as a small cross, but these have no bearing on the physical characteristics of an instrument. However, toward the end of the 10,000 series ledger pages the use of appended attributes becomes more and more common, and for the 65 note instruments with pipes more the norm.
