[78-L] His Master's Voice labels - small number?

[Matthew Duncan]

Yes there are lots of examples like that...for example HMV issuing two US Victor 
classical pieces recorded 5 years apart with widely varying matrix numbers so I 
think what you say is right...it would be the best filing system for that!

================
Are there examples of where sides with widely varying matrix numbers 
have consecutive "control" numbers? If so, this could mean that they 
were some form of filing system, cross-referenced to the matrix numbers. 
Copies of discs with consecutive "control" numbers would be easier to 
store on shelves than  non-consecutive matrix nos.
