Definitions

having a series of baskets, one for each letter of the alphabet, into which all particles are sorted prior to either filing the particle as in central files (CF) or prior to making an address plate, changing an address plate or tabbing an address plate as in Address. In this fashion all particles can more easily be filed or handled. (HCO PL 5 Feb 71 VI)
