Very Interesting Pat!,

My Mom was trained as an IBM keypunch operator. Before I was born (What?..200..300 years ago?!), she had a job at Universal in Manhattan in the department that handled Castle Films.

I'll have to send this to her and see if she recognizes the form.

(It's at least a year too late to be one of hers.)

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Steve

I remember the key punch cards. A company I worked for in my youth had a computer that took up a whole room that used the cards and the reels of tape. And that was just to do the payroll!

Pat,

Could you check on the actual copy, when this invoice was issued.

My computer could not show it clearly but it seems on the stamp it was issued Feb 18, 1943 but the date on right corner above was Feb 18, 1963

Anyway what is tha value of $1.75 on today's money?
