## About this plate

THE PREVIOUS ALABAMA BASE (lake and forest), 2014 to 2022. When Madison County ran out of 47ZZ999 and Shelby out of 58ZZ999, Alabama did not issue a new county code, it changed the ARRANGEMENT of the remaining characters within the same county code. That is direct evidence for the one-series reading of the current base's eight arrangements, and it is also the mechanism by which a fixed 1941 county-code space survives population growth.
