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
