Classification & ShelfListing: LC Cutter Table
The following five tables are used to construct Cutter numbers for both personal and corporate entries, title entries when appropriate, and the "second number" elements of class numbers which are subarranged by persons, places, or things. Entries beginning with numerals are assigned an A cutter (.A12-.A19) and numbered to precede all entries beginning with the letter A.
