Thanks Sandy. Wonderful set of images of all over the US about the
time I was born. Fascinating!
In the comments section a few were asking about the film, that maybe
it was Ektachrome, as that appeared around 1940. As some of the shots
are on sheet film, I tried to look up at Kodak what the notching codes
were, but they only reference what they are currently producing.
Anyone still have their Photo Lab Index that can confirm the code is
for Kodachrome sheet film?

Looks like Kodak re-assigned notch codes over the years. The same code
might be used on several different films.
The notch code shown appears to be currently un-assigned.
I found a useful reference though:
_The Acetate Negative Survey : Final Report_ by David G. Horvath
It appears that the only copy exists in the University of Louisville
University Libraries.
BUT, there's a PDF file ...

A quick perusal of Appendix B, and it appears to be Eastman Kodak Notch
reference #14, which for that date would be 6137 Kodachrome, Daylight
(1938)
Also a Power-Point presentation by a Kodak Engineer - Ronald Andrews
references some of the images:
