Physical description information for an item that requires technical equipment for its use, and/or more granular description information of an item's material properties to facilitate access and discovery or to support collection management.
Coded physical information is contained in field 007 (Physical Description Fixed Field). The field is repeated for each subfield $3 (Materials specified).
$a - Material base and configuration
Physical substance (e.g., acetate, canvas, clay, film, glass, vellum, or wood) and configuration (e.g., cartridge, chip, dot, fiche, globe, sheet, and audio-, magnetic-, micro-, ultra-, or videotape) on which the information is recorded.
| 340 | ##$amarble. [The medium for a sculpture.] |
||||||||
$b - Dimensions
Measurements of the material configuration (e.g., 35 mm. (film), 12 inch (phonograph disc), 4" x 6" (microfiche)).
| 340 | ##$aparchment$b20 cm. folded to 10 x 12 cm. | ||||||||
$c - Materials applied to surface
Physical substance applied to the material base (e.g., ink, oil, paint, specific photographic emulsions such as albumen).
| 340 | ##$3self-portrait$arice paper$b7" x 9"$ccolored inks$enone$hbetween entry for April 7 and April 19, 1843. | ||||||||
$d - Information recording technique
Means or technique by which information was recorded in or on the material base (e.g., punched, pressed, cut, molded, thermofax, x-ray).
| 340 | ##$dhandwritten$dtyped. | ||||||||
$e - Support
Physical material on or in which records are mounted, bound, or otherwise supported.
| 340 | ##$acanvas$b30 x 57 cm.$ccolored oil-base paints$ewood. | ||||||||
$f - Production rate/ratio
Normal rate or ratio at which the information in the material must be used to be meaningful (e.g., how many revolutions per minute for recordings, the magnification for photographic reductions).
| 340 | ##$3case files$aaperture cards$b9 x 19 cm.$dmicrofilm$f48x. | ||||||||
$g - Color content
Color characteristics of the content of a resource. Achromatic values (white, gray, and black) are considered to be colors.

$n - Font size
The size of the type used to represent the characters and symbols in a resource.
Font size may be expressed in general terms (e.g., large print), or by specifying in addition the dimensions of the type measured in points (e.g., 20 point).
