Yes I do remember it. In fact at my first pharmacy, we had the double system. One stamp on the hard copy, one stamp on the label. So, we had to keep track so we didn't screw them up and get a different number on the hard copy and the label!. But you have to admit, there was something cool about the sound of the stamping!Chachunk, Chachunk! Oh, man, the Bates numbering machine. Yes I do remember it.

I got to use a living antique in practice, as you may have: the Bates Numbering Machine. Good riddance!
