[78-L] RCA Collector's Item Record No. 1

[David Lennick]

1953. E0= 1950 (and D3-D9 are 1943-49), but the system changes in 1955..F = 1955, G=1956, onward through the 50s and 60s and skipping the letters I, O and Q (and there's the possibility that they still used E5 for January and February of 1955, according to an old note I have on file).
