[Histonet] Cassette labeling

Wed Feb 9 12:10:55 CST 2011

We've used both systems here. Both can produce right side up filing, 
depending on which way the wax faces (i.e. towards you, or away from you). 
Because we hand label the cassettes here, I prefer to use A, because the 
label bevel is at the top and easier to hold that way.

Using the "B" method ends up with the case # right side up in the block
file....unless I completely misunderstood the orientations of "A" and
"B"; entirely possible!

For those of you that answered with B, how are you filing the blocks? 
Just curious.
