Summary  
The documents detail a federal investigation involving multiple entities, including the FBI, Textile Marking Machine Company, and U.S. Navy Exchange locations, focusing on laundry codes, textile marking machines, and individuals linked to potential threats or associations with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A search of premises in Albany, New York, revealed garments with Thermo-Mark tape from Textile Marking Machine Co., used in laundering processes. Laundry codes "02B-6" and "D2B-7" were analyzed for connections to clothing samples from a shooting scene, though no direct link to MLK is explicitly stated. Investigations tracked individuals like William Tucker (described as "ARMED AND DANGEROUS") and Jerome Vernon, including license suspensions, vehicle recoveries, and insurance claims tied to vehicles such as a 1962 Ford Econoline van. Administrative records referenced textile marking machines, probation records for JAY WALLIS VERNON, and inquiries into property management and financial transactions in Los Angeles.
