- 1920, James Newton McCord, A Textbook of Filing, page 124:
  In the home office these dailies may be filed under one of two methods. Geographically by the territory controlled by an Agency, filing the dailies by their numbers back of the guide indicating the locality. Geographically as above, but filing the dailies by expiration date instead of by their numbers.
- 1946, The American Archivist, volumes 9-10, page 341:
  The dailies, or abstracts of the dailies, of the other companies and other departments are also checked, as has been said, in the Impaired Record department. For these coverages it is necessary to check for honesty or undesirable reputation of any kind. These dailies, and abstracts, are also taken by the "impaired record girls" when they have completed their checking, to the various departments.
