Talk:clue card

RFV discussion: July 2016–May 2017
Rfv-sense: A printed card with basic entries listed for a global distribution system. I'm not sure what this means and I can't find citations for it. DTLHS (talk) 00:48, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Created by User:Dmol, who adds plenty of aviation stuff and presumably works in the industry. Can we ask him? Equinox ◑ 01:39, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I work in travel. I had a look online, and almost everything there is a pdf with clue card only in the title. The following links should show some examples.

 * It doesn't seem to be used in writing... can you find any cites for this? DTLHS (talk) 19:06, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * As mentioned in my original response, it does only seem to be in the title of the documents shown. Finding text about it is difficult due to a similar named game, and the other definitions discussed below. But it's clearly wide-spread and has been around for decades.  I could easily find another dozen examples from different airlines, hotels, car hire companies, etc. --Dmol (talk) 02:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I can find quite a few hits for something to do with "stiffened shells of revolution" used by NASA, often capitalised, and containing load distribution information:

 * The other close hits I got were in books by Thomas Sawyer on facilities planning, which are control distribution cards containing location, description, etc for a control location:

Looking this over, I'm inclined to call this RFV-passed for the widespread use reported by Dmol, plus the Thomas Sawyer quote. Kiwima (talk) 18:36, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
