Ky" by Nickell & Fischer. It also has an example of a "John Doe" print card.   Mike LaScala Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 01:17 pm:        I’m looking for information about referencing questionable patterns in the Henry and NCIC classification systems. I’ve read the section in the FBI’s The Science of Fingerprints manual but it is not clear about the rules for referencing nor how the references are brought up. Is there an example of a tenprint card in a text or on the net which has both the CLASS. and REF. lines filled in? I would also like to know how one references if you are only using the NCIC fingerprint codes?

Reference rules were imperative in the pre-AFIS manual (paper and ink) filing cabinet environment of the FBI’s gigantic fingerprint card collection. Of course, the FBI’s Identification Division changed its name to CJIS in 1992, 68 years after the Identification Division was formed (in 1924).   sandyr richardson Posted on Wednesday, October 06, 2004 - 03:33 pm:        I'm a criminal justice student and have been trying to find how to use his classification system on myself. This is a project our teacher has dreamed up, but I can't find an explanation of how to use his method. I've scoured the internet and keep coming up with histories and articles about Henry, but no actual step by step method to follow. PLEASE HELP!!
