CODING DESK TRANSCRIPTION ERROR

The operator on Coding Desk N° 02 at the Gare d' Austerlitz sorting office has been presented

with an item of mail destined for St Denis d'Oleron in the departement of Charente-Maritime.
The code should have been transcribed either 17DEN or given the departement majoritevariant
of 17KKK. Instead, the operator has inexplicably keyed the departement number twice leaving
him with no alternative but to complete the indexation with a single K.
