A simple guide to decimals in transport
• How do you write a decimal cheque?
• Will conversion of wage rates to decimals bring problems of underor over-payment?
• What ledger system should be adopted during the conversion period?
• When must you draw wages to avoid bank closing times for decimal preparation?
• How should invoicing be tied in with customers' accounting?
• Will vehicle costings and charges need to be in both sterling and decimal for a time?
These and many other aspects of decimalization need urgent and expert answers now that D-day (February 15) is so close. Commercial Motor has therefore produced a plain-language guide for transport operators in both goods and passenger fields. Based on articles published in CM, it provides a succinct means of giving management and staff a thorough briefing on the impact of decimals on road transport.
The guide costs 2s 6d including postage (bulk orders, 12 copies for 25s post paid) from: Cashiers Dept, IPC Business Press (Sales and Distribution) Ltd, 40 Bowling Green Lane, London EC1. Please enclose money with order, and make payable to IPC Business Press.
