The object is a plastic tray with 33 formed cubby-holes in a three-by-eleven array. Each cubby can contain one film cartridge for the 1360 Photo-Digital Storage System. Each of the cubby-holes has a circular opening on the bottom. Thirty of the cubby-holes are populated with empty storage cartridges. All cartridges have numeric labeling visible from the top. The primary number on the cartridges is hand-written black marking pen and the numbers in this tray are all 2059, matching the "SECTION 2059" label on the tray. The secondary number on each cartridge is also hand-written black marking pen and appears to be a sequence number. The sequence numbers in the tray range from 00 to 29 inclusive.
