	Reference designators are normally keyed to the BOM and
schematic and carry 
	no other information other than general part type (U, R, K,
etc). Thus a 
	six character reference designator will accomodate a
two-character standard 
	prefix (these prefixes are the subject of an ANSI standard) plus
four 
	digits for numbering ...
