Topic: Master parts catalog question

[preaction]

This is a listing for a radiator for a 68 390/428 and because its a August of 69 edition it shows the service replacement part C8ZZ-A which would be for either a 4 speed or an automatic as a replacement my question is what is the star symbol for and what does the R/B mean ?

[CharlesTurner]

The star should match a star note at the bottom of the page.  R/B just means 'Replaced By'

The "star" indicated that part has been obsoleted by Ford and is no longer part of the service parts inventory. If a replacement part exists, it is shown as the replacement. The "star" is also used in the illustration sections. (A heads up. An asterisks can sometimes be confused with the star.)

Charles I thought the star would be noted by something on the bottom of the page but here it didn't and I noticed this on other pages also so I thought I would ask.

I got my stars and asterisks mixed up like Jim mentioned.

MPC question -- I haven't seen the decode of "⌀" or the "§".

This is from the general information of the 1960-1968 MPC

I would say that all other special characters are not global in nature, and should therefore be defined on the page where used.  In some cases it is typical throughout a section and you need to flip a few pages to find the interpretation.
