APPENDIX A

        The following is a sample mode of dividing the United State into geographical division and sub-divisions for the purpose of a code notation of transfer-issuing systems such as is suggested in Section 25. Though we are using this classification, it is but a sample, not necessarily recommended as the best. Under each sub-division is indicated (where otherwise it would not be clear) a list of the cities of over 10,000 population (census of 1920); also the code numbering for systems for which we have collected transfers. Note that state lines are not strictly followed. This notation is thus applied as shown below to a hundred systems scattered over the United States.
