The format used by Raleigh's Kent facility used the 1st and 5th characters as the year indicator. Characters 2 through 4 indicate the day, while the remaining characters are the sequential frame number. Sometimes, there is also an A or B suffix to denote day and evening shifts respectively.
Got it! Thanks.
