notes: label: Description

It may be a patterns used to make a mold, which in turn was used to make pieces of this shape. The phrase "one off" indicates that one piece of a given shape is to be made. The phrase "hard compo" suggests that the piece was to be made from a hard composition plastic. The number on the pattern does not match up with the numbers of the parts of James Powers tabulating equipment shown in 1992.3214.03.
