H J Adamcik Transfer Instructions Collection
(Scroll down)
In the 1950's and 1960's the Philadelphia Transportation Company had a complex system of issuing and accepting transfers between the various routes.
ECTMA member Henry J. Adamcik (1942-2019) had a long-term interest in the various arcane rules that goverened the use of transfers. In fact, in 1956 at the age of 14 he was recognized by fellow enthusiasts as the expert on PTC transfer regulations.
Listed below are scans of his collection of Philadelphia Transportation Company Transfer Instructions that were
Issued with the introduction of the "cut" transfers that replaced the punched exchange transfers in the
mid 1950's.
