Posted by Olog-hai on Thu Jan 29 21:52:39 2015 I figured net pay to be about $1,885.29 in today's dollars. That sound about right? |

Notice its on a "Punch Card" generated by an old fashioned Keypunch machine. The print type looks like it was generated by a IBM 407 accounting machine. State of the art back then, espicially for the money strapped New Haven RR |
