So the pt must be an abbreviation for part although I don't recognise it
(other than P/T is short for part time in jobs)

Contrive is 'housing' Ace Pt

as Cashier says.

Pt 1 of a series etc is a common abbreviation.

Yes, I used the housing twice . Cashier's answer didn't actually cover the pt bit though Mamya. Yes I can see the Pt for part now in thecontext of part 1/pt1
