Necessary information can be located readily because all records, items and item groups have identification data on obvious visible margins. Kardex Visible Reference Equipment, designed primarily as look up files, provides fast access to prepared lists and is easy to keep up-to-date. Entries are easily removed for correction, deletion, substitution or rearrangement when circumstances change.

Kardex records can be refiled quickly, and misfiles are virtually eliminated because all records on a given item are kept in one easy to see pocket. The Kardex record card is never removed for posting.
