The cancellation listings below are the author's compilation from the various sources at my disposal. I have used my own judgement where they are incompatible: for example I have 'downgraded' one source where the text does not match its own illustrations! For the APS cancellation coding system see here. In the tables below, '/' means 'new line' but '//' means that there is a '/' in the actual text of the cancel. Types B1 and B2 are the two 'modified keyholes' illustrated here ('B' means 'special cancel, cannot describe, must illustrate').
