(1) All white Registration Cards (Form 1) received prior to the time the local board assigned any serial numbers to such cards, were placed together and thoroughly shuffled. The local board then placed on each card a serial number in the space marked "Serial Number." The card that was first in the pile after the shuffle was given Serial Number 1, and the next card was given Serial Number 2, and so on. Each card was given one, and only one, serial number, and no letters or fractions were used.
