(b) No Warrant shall be issued for more or less than one contract unit. ; Weighing of Silver Bars Bearing Approved Brands, Any bar of silver that does not have the bar weights stamped or incised on the bars by the refiner, and which is identified by a refiner's bar list without indicating or specifying the bar weights, but which is otherwise qualified for delivery on Exchange contract, may be put in tenderable condition for such delivery by the following procedure: (a) The silver must be weighed by a Licensed Weighmaster.

Each contract unit shall be delivered from a single Licensed Depository. The Exchange may from time to time add to or eliminate Licensed Depositories after notice to members. Said notice shall fix the time when such changes shall become effective. The addition or elimination of a Licensed Depository shall not be deemed to affect the amount of money to be paid or the grade or quality of the silver to be delivered upon an Exchange contract, and shall be binding upon all such contracts entered into before, as well as after the adoption of such change, anything in these Rules to the contrary notwithstanding. (b) The bar list must be an instrument prepared and signed by the refiner of the silver identified therein or by the Licensed Depository issuing the Warrant.
