Herr Stolle hat Recht. Lfd. Nr. = 'laufende Nummer' - Brockhaus Bildwöterbuch, 1960 McGraw-Hill A 'laufende Nummer' is litterally a 'running number', hence a serial number.

Might these refer to a contract number, a plant ID, or a >design drawing number? I seached for the company in the local fonbook, but I didn't found it, so there is noch chance to ask here. "Werk Nr." perhaps is another word for type-number (the name of the device). It's also possible, that this company have had more areas where they produced and the number describes one of this factories, but because the number is so high, I think that the first guesswork will be the right. I am very sure, that "Lfd. Nr." means the same as "Seriennummer" in German, I don't know the correct english word, but "S/N" is the short form of it. Perhaps it helps.
