First Symbol (letter denoting works where frame was manufactured) i.e. N (Nottingham), W (Worksop)
Second Symbol (number indicating month of manufracture) A=Jan, B=Feb, D=Mar, E=Apr, G=May, H=Jun, K=Jul, L=Aug, M=Sep, N=Oct, P=Nov, S=Dec
Third Symbol (number indicating year of manufacture) i.e 3= 1973, 4= 1974
