Just as an FYI and FWIW:
 
Here is an explanation of the 1/8th system of trading.

I believe those the fractions were  used for financial applications.  
Stocks used to be traded in 1/8ths.  At some point, they changed to 1/16ths, and 
finally to decimal in 2001.

Just curious now that I  have a 14, 15 and 19 that someday will want to 
change from fraction to  'normal'.  


Was TWX the main user of  fractions ? Any documentation why the decision to 
use
fractions vs the other UC characters ?
