Twelve rows a string match cannot reach

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
228 of 251 containers have a recorded fit. And the table earns its place on twelve of them.

On this shelf the fit table records 9,273 pairs

Counting only pairs where both the container and the closure are on this shelf. Those reach 228 of the 251 containers, with between 1 and 67 fitting closures each.

And 31 of the 288 closures fit nothing here

They are on the shelf because they fit something in the wider catalog. Twenty three containers have no recorded fit at all, in either direction.

The obvious question is whether the table adds anything to the neck finish field

Because a container and a closure recording the same neck notation are already a presumptive match without any table at all.

For 216 containers the two methods agree exactly

216 containers here record a neck finish that at least one closure here also records, and for every one of those 216 the number of recorded fits equals the number of same-notation closures. Zero disagreement in either direction.

Which confirms what the one stated basis says

The table is derived from the notation. It is not an independent body of evidence and it does not contradict the field it came from.

And then twelve containers have a fit while recording no neck finish at all

Those twelve are where the table earns its place, because a string match has nothing to match on and returns nothing.

All twelve are polypropylene round tubs

A tub takes a lid that seats on a rim rather than a cap that threads onto a neck. There is no thread notation to record, so the neck finish field is empty and the relationship has to be carried some other way.

Which is a useful general observation about an empty field

Those twelve rows are not missing data. They are rows where the field does not apply, and a filter on neck finish treats the two situations identically and wrongly.

So the honest summary of the table is narrow and positive

It restates the neck notation for 216 containers and it covers twelve more that the notation cannot describe. That is a real contribution and it is smaller than fifty five thousand rows suggests.

And 23 containers remain unanswered

No recorded fit and no same-notation closure on this shelf. Which is an unanswered question rather than a negative answer, and it is the same distinction the quilting property draws about an affirmative none.

References

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. On this shelf the fit table records 9,273 pairs in which both the container and the closure are on the shelf. Those pairs reach 228 of the 251 containers, with between 1 and 67 fitting closures each, and use 257 of the 288 closures, leaving 31 closures that fit nothing here and 23 containers with no recorded fit at all. None of the 9,273 rows records a basis. 216 of the containers record a neck finish that at least one closure here also records, and for all 216 the number of recorded fits equals the number of same-notation closures exactly. A further 12 containers have a recorded fit while recording no neck finish at all, and all twelve are polypropylene round tubs.
Written from 16 U.S.C. 3372 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section is the Lacey Act prohibition and it makes a federal offense out of trade in fish, wildlife or plants taken in violation of other law; it does not govern hooks, swivels, sinkers or beads, and nothing here says it does. Nothing here states whether lead tackle is lawful in any jurisdiction, which varies and is not in this record, and nothing here is guidance about fishing or licensing. A closure recorded as fitting a container shares a neck notation in the supplier record, which is not a test of fit. This shelf is shared identically by nine groups and the sewing notions property enumerates the inventory.
