Post subject:  humbucker letters?

hi, I bought from a guy a some pickups that he took from his guitars, after replacing their humbuckers.

turns out that some of the pickups have the letter "b and n" under them, what I assume means bridge and neck, right?

problem is that some of them have the letter "f". what does it mean? the pair with this one has nothing written.

thanks

While it would also be my assumption that "B" would mean bridge position and "N" would mean neck, I would check resistances to be sure they were appropriate for the intended position in the system I was working on. The "F" would refer to pole spacing, Dimarzio has these specs on their site.

I was thinking it was a Dimarzio F spaced as well.
