CODING DESK TRANSCRIPTION ERROR

The operator on Coding Desk N° 09 at the Gare d' Austerlitz sorting office has applied the
incorrect indexation to an item of mail destined for Dives-sur-Mer in the departement of
Calvados. The code should have been transcribed either 14DIV or given the departement
majorite variant of 14KKK. In error, the operator has applied the variant 14VVV directing the
item to the chef-lieu of Caen.
