A question I must ask here. I keep seeing the word "Delta" used in reference to record numbers, is this word an alternative for "catalogue" or "matrix"? Pardon my(seeming) ignorance, but I've always used the words "catalogue"(actual issue number) or "matrix"(stamper number).

Over here, there was a pressing plant in California called, Monarch Record Mfg.. For every wax master they cut, they would assign a job number preceded by a triangle, which is the Greek letter, D, or Delta. Annaloog and I have a list on 45cat of the ones Anna has found. These numbers help collectors find more precise release dates for their records.

So these "Delta" numbers are not in any way related to the catalogue or matrix numbers then. Is that correct?
