Description
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, with the exception of two which have no tops and one which has a blank top. The primary number on some cartridges is white and on others it is handwritten in black. The primary numbers in this tray are assorted. The secondary number on each cartridge seems to be a serial number and is a mix of printed yellow and handwritten black.
