[78-L] RCA matrix coding - date

[Thomas Stern]

Thanks Royal,
  Can you elaborate on the 1954 date.
  I have a Peggy Seeger record:
Signet FL 5401  10 Inch E4-KL-5907/5908
Peggy Seeger Courting And Complaining Songs. 

This was reissued on FOLKWAYS FP 49                          10" LP 1955,
SONGS of COURTING and COMPLAINT, later as FOLKWAYS FA 2049 (FP 49) 10" LP
1962

On the SIGNET album does the "E" indicate 1954 ???  How early in 1954 did
RCA start
using this code???

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

The first system was used from 1942 to 1955 (or end of 1954?), the second
one 1955 to approximately 1962, the third from then on until approximately
1973.
