lin Bengal, Sir william Herschel
devised the first workable system
of identifying prints Of all the
fingers.
Refined by Sir E. r. Henry
chief of police in Bengal and
later In London, the system was
adopted by Scotland Yard in
1901. The following year the
New York Civil Service Com
mission began the first sys-
tematie fingerprinting in the
United States. BY 1924 law Of
ficials across the country had
amassed $4,000 criminal cards
These we're pooled to start the
FlBI files.
Now the hub of q fingerprint
exchange that includes 83 other
countries, the FBT's identif1ca-
ton division receives 10000 sets
of prints every working day
No two alike, the sets are classed
into one Of five basic patterns
and various subclasses. When
the ridges on all 10 fingers diff
fer in basic design, the pattern
of the majority determines the
class for the card. So exact is
