The alphabet is divided into units. A unit starts with a tab sheet showing the letter or the part of a letter contained in the unit. The unit next contains a sub-index sheet with page references for every combination of letters or commonly occurring surnames. The unit then contains the referenced pages. It is important to note that pages for commonly occuring surnames are allocated after the pages for letter combminations. This means that they occur out of alphabetical order and can be missed when browsing the index without utilizing the sub-indexes. | The alphabet is divided into units.
