The CTIO Prime Focus CCD instrument with an RCA CCD was in operation at theCTIO 4-m telescope for six years between 1982-1988. A large body of literaturehas been published based on CCD images taken with this instrument. We reviewthe general properties of the now-retired PFCCD system to aid astronomers inthe interpretation of the photometric data in the literature.Comment: Accepted for publication in the PASP. 15 pages, AASTeX V4.0 latex format (including figures), 4 ps figures, 4 separate AASTeX V4.0 latex table
