Is it the filing system? The card? The file of cards? More than one of these? &#x200b; —msh210  ℠  20:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please inspect. Also, see -ex. DCDuring TALK 21:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Now there are two senses, both meaning "a system...". (Actually, I'm not sure how whether the first is not a special case of the second and removable.) But "on the kardex" seems to show that the card is also called "Kardex", and "in the kardex" seems to show that the file of cards (or some sort of file) is. But I'm not sure. &#x200b;  —msh210  ℠  22:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * At the very least the medical system should get an "especially" because it is discussed in many 21st century nursing/medical-office-administration books. The cards do have that usage, but so also do a rotary card holder, desktop card drawer cabinet, etc. I wouldn't mind if someone who knew something about this would finish this or let us know about usage in medical offices, hospitals, libraries, other offices. This is not a term other OneLook dictionaries have (except one medical dictionary), nor Wikipedia. DCDuring TALK 23:59, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also Kardex AG (possibly the current owner of the paper-system trade name) is making various space-saving physical-storage devices, which may also be referred to as "Kardexes" by users. DCDuring TALK 00:04, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Resolved, IMO. Open a new RFC to get fresh eyes on the matter if you disagree. - -sche (discuss) 02:37, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
