A practice which has been of the utmost benefit in the Federal Bureau of Investigation is as follows: When a fingerprint card is taken out of its regular file for any reason, a subst.i.tute card is put in its place, to remain until the return of the card. This subst.i.tute card, or ”charge-out” card, is of a different color from the fingerprint card and slightly longer. On it are recorded the name, the cla.s.sification formula, and peculiar characteristics, such as scars and peculiar pattern formations, appearing on the original card. By indicating the date and reason for charging out the original card, the Bureau is able to keep an accurate check on the whereabouts of all prints at all times. It is suggested that the local bureaus adopt a practice of this kind whenever a fingerprint card is drawn from the files and it is known that it may be out for a period of time longer than the remainder of the day on which it is drawn. Figure 414 shows the type of charge-out card used in the FBI.

Each fingerprint card handled by the bureau should receive a fingerprint number and these numbers can be a.s.signed in consecutive order.
As the bureau increases in size, it will be found a source of much convenience to have fingerprints of males and females kept in separate files.
_Name files_
There will be times when it may be necessary to locate an individual's fingerprints when no current fingerprints are available, but the name with a police number or the cla.s.sification is known. In order to facilitate work of this nature, as well as to keep a complete record and check on each set of fingerprints, it is necessary that the files be indexed in a manner similar to that in which books in a library are indexed.

In this connection, for each fingerprint card there is prepared an index card. On this the name of the individual is placed, with all known aliases, the fingerprint cla.s.sification formula, the police or arrest number, the date of arrest or other action. It is desirable, also, to have on this card such general information as age, height, weight and race. Figure 415 shows the front of a suggested type of 3- by 5-inch index card.
