Serial number question

J.Wondergem · Nov 24, 2012

I have a RTS serial # 0024900091. Does this make it the 91st RTS built in 49, or out of total Rs that year?

yes, #49 of RTS 374 built in 1949.

OK, Thanks maj-mm

10-digit ser.#'s used only in 1949 & '50. 4th & 5th digit indicates the year. maj-mm meant to type that yours was the 91st that year.

BTW, 10 digits also used in 1948 but no RTS's that year.

Yes, I meant 91st built in 1949. Thanks for catching my typo.

Ya, that's what I figured, he was just thinking 91st and typed 49 because of the year.
