VI. Patent Royalty Files,, 1948-1977

Arrangement:The files in this series are arranged alphbaetically.

Documents have been separated into three sections in the first folder for each company (if materials are available). Statement summaries are placed at the beginning of all documentation if available; these are typed receivables by year for many of the companies. Next is correspondence relating to royalties arranged chronologically. Finally the financial statements are arranged in date order, by the date on the bill. When statements are divided between folders the date of the bill establishes the cutoff, not the fiscal year. When the records for one company span several folders the summary statement and any correspondence will be found at the front of the first folder. If there is no folder note of "Statement Summary" or "Correspondence" then financial statements are the only documentation filed. All folders contain financial statements.

Folder names were also generally kept as originally named. The company was the identifier on all folders. Japanese companies were not arranged by company name, but filed as "Japan". The original concept has been kept, but companies have been separated out between the three Japanese folders. Oddly, the Takeda Chemical Industry was filed by company name and not "Japan" as the other companies.
