Jim,
You are right!
On my A. T. & T. CO. L. L. DEPT. "TELETYPEWRITER CODE CARD FORM P1429"
is shown "Arangement C" as having a comma for upper case "J". This is a
fractions font with upper case "N" (the "normal" comma, being "7/8").
"Arangement B" is also fractions.
See http://rtty.com/CODECARD/codecrd1.htm for various code cards. My ATT
LL card is identical to the Pulse Communications 5-bit card.
Have fun,
Duncan
