1. "...Frequency Sheet to some of us. It's a form for doing long division to compute frequencies. You put the time, in minutes, in the section labeled min., and the count in the section labeled as such. Then, you do long division and compute the frequency, and put that in the appropriate area. There are a couple of little boxes for checking off whether the day was an Ingored Day or a No-Chance Day, too. I'm not sure what the little 'List' box stands for, or what goes into it. Malcolm (D.Neely) explained that the Frequency Sheet proved superfluous, and was not used much. By the way, this also, in a round-about way, verifies (a) point that the 1 minute timing was adopted, as much as for any other reason, [(...) One has to recall that the 60s and early 70s were years before the advent of the pocket calculator, and years further before the arrival of cheap pocket calculators. Math had to be done on paper, and long division was, and is, hard to do! I guess in PT terms, long division would represent something of a fluency-blocker in terms of being able to fluently chart frequencies. By using a 1-minute record floor, the computation of frequency is rather easy to do (I mean, how hard is it to divide by 1?)..."
