entirely from those now in use. The
booking clerk was furnished with
volume, the pages of which we're di-
vided down the centre by perforated
line the outside half of each page was
again divided into slips about four
inches long by an inch and three
quarters in width, on each of which
was printed the name of the issuing
station; spaces we're provided in
which the clerk had to write the
destination passengers name. date of
issue and the time the train was due
to depart,
One of these slips. duly filled in,
was detached from the book and hand
ed over to each would be passenger in
exchange for his fare.
The traveller. having thus obtained
his ticket. was passed on to the guard
of the train by which he desired, to
travel This official was provided
with a kind of waybill on which he en-
tered particulars of all his passengers
in much the same way that parcel is
served nowadays.
