At end of day the clerks took out a report which was then sent of to the accounting department. A station which didn't have this equipment had to requisition a set of a specific ticket. For example: I need: 100 tickets for a grown-up sao paulo-rio de janeiro 3d class single 100 tickets for a grown-up sao paulo-rio de janeiro and back 1st class 40 - child sao p-rio d j single 3d class The tickets arrived sorted on its serial number. every ticket of one type (dest/grown-up/class) has a serial number and if the the clerk always sold his lowest numbered ticket first was it easy to keep tracks on numbers sold. At End-of-day the clerk didnt have to count his remaining tickets, it was enough to look for the number of the lowest numbered ticket. Could the Edmonson expansion card be a printer interface ?

I have not heard back from the offerer on the PDP11 in brazil. However, I just noticed the picture attachments in the previous email he sent. It is a 10 bay system, comprised of 5 cpu's, they appear to be 11/45's. Two dec mag tapes, and five RK05's as well as RX02 and a few other niceties. The pictures do have a high drool-factor and the systems appear pristine. Soon as I hear back from them, I'll forward to the first person who replied or maybe the first few as this type of system should be a group effort. J On Sep 25, 2012, at 9:09 PM, Jay West wrote:
