EXAMPLE 8.
Less commonly, a number other than a cutter number is used for subarrangement. Here "14th" refers to the number of the regiment. Note that the non-cutter number is separated by a space rather than a period from the classification number, and that the period precedes the first (and only) cutter number.

The other common substitute for a cutter number in LC call numbers is the date. Here "1545" refers to the initial date of the Council of Trent and is preceded by a space rather than a period.

EXAMPLE 10.
Some law class numbers for legislative acts include the date of the act in the class number, in this case 1996. Note that there is no space before the date because the date is considered to be part of the class number. A7 is a form cutter for monographs. The date of publication (2001) is in the standard position.

EXAMPLE 11.
A few class numbers do not use cutters; subarrangement is only by date. This pattern is often used with censuses:
