§  921.  Current minute books and indices in office of county clerk of   New York county. 1.  The county clerk of New York county must keep books   to be known as current minute books. Each half page  of  space  in  each   book,  or  one-third  page  of  space  in each book if it is deemed more   practicable to subdivide each page in  thirds,  shall  be  consecutively   numbered for each year and shall be devoted to one action or proceeding.   On  a  half page or one-third page so numbered the clerk shall enter the   title of the action or proceeding having the same number for that  year,   with  the  names of the first plaintiff or party and the first defendant   or party and the names of the attorneys in full,  and  in  chronological   order  a  brief  description of each paper as it is filed, together with   the date of filing thereof, also the verdict,  report  or  decision,  if   any,  rendered  in  the  action as of the date of the rendering thereof,   also  all  orders  and  judgments  in  the  action.   All   preliminary,   interlocutory and provisional proceedings, and proceedings supplementary   to  judgment  or  execution,  shall  be entered on the same half page or   one-third page of the minute book as the action out of which they arise,   or to which they relate, except in actions  where  the  entries  are  so   voluminous  as to require one or more additional half pages or one-third   pages of space, in which case the entries shall be continued  under  the   same  number  upon  other  pages  of  that  or a subsequent minute book,   reference thereto being  entered  at  the  end  of  the  first  and  all   additional half pages or one-third pages.2.  There  shall  be  kept an alphabetical index of all the actions or   proceedings entered in such current minute books during any year,  which   index  shall  consist  of  two  sets  of separate volumes, one set to be   designated and used  for  indexing  actions  wherein  the  plaintiff  or   plaintiffs  are  individuals,  including  all  individual  members  of a   copartnership or of a firm doing business under a firm name or style  as   stated  in  the  title of the action, and the other set to be designated   and used for indexing actions wherein the plaintiff  or  plaintiffs  are   corporations,  a  joint stock company, a copartnership or a firm name or   style under which a person or persons are doing business.  Each of  such   sets  of  index  books  shall have a separate volume or volumes for each   letter of the alphabet,  except  that  the  county  clerk  may,  in  his   discretion,  include  more  than one letter in a volume when convenience   will be served, and a suitable marginal page index, and shall  have  the   designation of its set of books, its letter and the year or years of its   entries  plainly  marked on its back and cover.  And all such actions or   proceedings shall be indexed in such index volumes according to all  the   names  of  the plaintiffs of each title, as contained in the first paper   filed therein, in the same manner as it  is  provided  in  section  nine   hundred  twenty-two  of  this  chapter  that  judgment  debtors shall be   docketed in the judgment docket books,  and  in  every  case  the  index   number of the action shall be entered opposite the name indexed.3. Whenever an action is transferred to another court, or the place of   trial  changed,  the  clerk  to  whom  the  papers  in  such actions are   delivered shall bind them and file them together and shall enter in  the   current  minute  book  in  which he makes entries an entry of the filing   thereof, and shall continue to make subsequent entries  therein  in  the   same manner as if the papers had originally been filed with him.
