Size symbols
Items under 16.1 cm. and over 29.1 cm. need a size symbol in the call number. Items over 29.1 cm also need a "|c Oversize" immediately preceding the |h in the MFHD 852 field. (Jump
to examples of the 852 field)
Add a size symbol to the last element of the call number (excluding the
volume designator, if any) in accordance with the following table:

Notes:
- Fractions of a centimeter are counted as a full centimeter when recording
the size in the collation.
- Size "s" books designated for F, SA or a graduate study room: Change
LOC to rcppa (for F material) or rcppj (for SA and UES material).
- If a call number contains a workletter which is identical to one
of the size symbols above, convert the workletter to upper case.
