Do You Know Your Auto Tag
Numbers? Its No Accident
That Governor Scotts Is No. 1
Do you know your alphabet
from B to Z? That's the range
of alphabetical prefixes used for
the more than a million motor
vehicle license tags to be iuused
In this state for 1951.
None of the letters is new
this year, although several were
used last year for the first
time. When the registration fig
ure passed the million mark
last year, the W came into use
on plates for passenger cars,
since only six numerals will go
on the standard size plate. R j
was used when the 1,100,000 j
mark was passed. The Z Is an- [
other year-old letter. It Is used
on all passenger car trailers. P,
standing for public-owned, has
.been u~ed for a number of
years; however, for the first
time last year the silver tags
with black letters and numerals
were Issued to between 20,000
and 25,000 public cars and
trucks for the life of the ve
hicles.
The National Guard tag is a
revival of a prewar custom.
Special plates went to guard of
ficers in 1937, and were discon
1'nned when the war began. Ap
1 ro\-imately 720 were in use
during 1950.
S^ms of the old letters are
H or b'is for hire, S for con
tract carrier truck, F for com
mn carrier truck, EX for com
mon car ier trailer, K for con
tra t cart er, J for the Supreme
C iiirt Justices, H for the high
way commiss'on, M for manu
facturer and T for passenger for
hire.
Several factors, such as rank,
protocol and seniority, entei
into the issuance of the low
numbered official plates.

Scott takes No. 1 and Lt. Gov
H. Pat Taylor, of Wadesboro,
