[R-390] EAC Contract info in Red Bank Paper

[rbethman]

Ross,

Look at the time frame.

Incomes in the period of '65 to '69, the high incomes were those that 
made $20K +.

Since The Government bought the rights to the entire design and prints 
when they bought them originally, they provided these to whomever they 
awarded the contract to.

A very similar comparison was the M-16 of that same period.  They were 
made by numerous Manufacturers.  I've personally carried one made by 
Mattel Industries.

The same period had the GM Camaro SS-396 selling for just barely above $2K.

So the math figures very well with the time, and what the USD was really 
worth.

Just another perspective of the realm of that period.
