Is anyone familiar with the following stopbar numbers? I don't have any documentation and they don't match any of the matrices I got with them.

1578
1579
C2022
C2023
C2024
C2027

Also keybars 86135.

Alas my listings do not show those keybars or stopbars. I have not come across stopbars with C numbers. I hope to get to Wroughton in a few months time, and will see if I can access the Monotype ledgers to see what is recorded. My keybar listing goes above 86125, so it will be in the ledger somewhere (unfortunately the ledger is not in keybar order). Stopbars 1578 and 1579 should be early on in the ledger, so should be easily findable.
