Due to varying production volumes, the exact serial number with which a change becomes effective cannot be determined. When selecting part numbers referenced to serial numbers, the catalog specifications should be used as an aid in selecting the proper part number.

Note that up through 1977, the serial number consisted of one letter and 5 numbers (e.g. X00,000). From 1978, it changed to two letters followed by four numbers (e.g. XX0,000).
