#FFFFFF - About this plate
- The serial BLOCKS are the interesting record here: B through C on this base, D through F on the next, with no gap. So Michigan's letter block is a coarse era signal even though the FORMAT is not, the opposite arrangement from Illinois, where the format changed at the base boundary and the blocks restarted.
- How numbers are issued
- observed BAA 0000 to approximately CPS 0999 (secondary), note the blocks run CONTINUOUSLY into the 2013 base's DAA start, which is why the serial cannot date the base
