Octane le #1 off of production line

[denim]

The 001 indicates it was the first unit built that day. I believe the Gregorian calendar date is in there too.

edit- OK, I got the straight scoop. First 5 digits are the product, second 5 digits are the number of days since 1900, the last four digits are the number of units built that day.

So, in this case:

05081 is Octane LE

37595 is the date built (enter this number in Excel and click format/date to find the regular calendar date)

0001 is first unit built that day.

Fascinating, we should number our subs that way.

05081 Hey it's is also the zip code of Wells River, Vermont (town that is 75 miles north of me) That's neat-o!

37595 = 12/5 (Dec 5th)

fascinating - I agree! but then there is really some doing to figure out which one is the actual NUMBER 1, as one would need to know what the first day of production was or lack of that, find the lowest Gregorian calendar date mark.
