Notes

The second part of the matrix numbering system consists of the numerical sequence from 0001 to 9999. If RCA run out of numbers into the 10,000 series they switched the second and third position in the first part. Thus GM8M-0657 means in reality G8MM-10657.

If they run out of numbers after 19999 so to speak they would switch the third and the fourth position to begin with 20,000.
