Denis:

According to Mr Claude Drouin who visited our library
yesterday, the numbers refer to the film number that
the act is on. This collection contains 2300 rolls of
microfilm and may be viewed at our reseacrh library at
the AFGS in Woonsocket, RI. Our library holds the only
copy of the Drouin microfilm collection in the US.
