Default Anyone know what SFP on this listing may mean?

Would anyone know what SFP at the bottom of the description for this catalogue listing may mean please?

https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C5699258

I'd like to get a copy of the chancery case but if there are likely to be issues with copying the document I'd rather not pay £9.92 for a quote. I've ordered a number of copy chancery case documents from them over recent months and not seen that one before.

Thanks

Nicola

It looks as if it stands for Seamless Flow Programme.

I'm not sure whether that refers to how it is stored or if it is an indication that additional work has been done (usually by volunteers) to improve the catalogue.

The documents are usually a yard wide. They are often faded or crumpled at the edges with several smaller documents attached.

Thanks Phoenix, good to know. At least I know the quote will be for A3+ pages.

I'm tied up for the next month, but I do have some chancery records on my to do list at Kew. Would you like me to have a look at them for you? I'm not saying read them, but judge how much there is there? And what condition?

Hi Phoenix, that would be great if you have time. If it looks like the condition isn't good, I'd probably not bother ordering a copy. Many thanks.
