In our shop, earlier publisher, distributor, and manufacturer are recorded in one 260, the latter in 260$e$f$g. Now, these three are in repeating 264s with differing 2nd indicators. Few adopted repearing 260, and when they did, it was for original, intermediate, and currrent publisher of continuing resources; not publisher, distributor, and manufacturer. I gather from a recent post, Bibframe will resemble RDA's repeating 264 practice (with distinct labels replacing MARC 264's 2nd indicator), more than AACR2's single 260 practice with repeating subfields. Crosswalks from such varied source records will not be easy. __ __ J.
