Context (Amendments / updates)
'1948.2318 A.1' historically has become disassociated from its corresponding cover. The presence of the text 'G 8' written on both '1948.2318 A.1' and 'Z 23090', as well as the similarity in description, suggests that historically 'Z 23090' may have been part of '1948.2318 A', i.e. the cover (1948.2318 A.2). This requires further investigation into the 'G' numbering system prior to confirmation.
