Separate books and computer databases may be
kept for the recording and indexing of different classes of instruments.
Three distinct series of document numbers may be used for recording
documents received for recordation, one series of numbers to be preceded by
the letter "b" in each case, which series shall be used only for bills of
sale of personal property, chattel mortgages and releases, extensions and
assignments, thereof, one series of numbers to be preceded by the letter
"c" in each case, which series shall be used only for certificates of
discharge of discharged members of the military, aviation and naval forces
of the United States, and the other series of document numbers shall be
used for all other instruments received for recordation. When three series
of document numbers are thus used, a separate place may be provided in the
Recorder's office for the receipt of each kind of documents to which such
serial numbers apply.
