	Field Guide To Titles And Credits
		It is believed the onscreen numbers were a remnant of the old Vitaphone sound-on-disc shorts program, where the number onscreen corresponded to the correct number of disc that should be playing for proper sound sync.
		This numbering system actually began to be used onscreen in 1943 (at which time WB ceased assigning "Vitaphone numbers" as the entire industry converted successfully to optical sound on film), with a hyphenated number denoting series entry number and the number of season.
		Unlike Vitaphone numbers, these numbers were exclusive to the cartoon studio.
