Thank you, thank you, thank you! My father and many of his siblings had PO careers and these new records are of great interest except I couldn’t figure out, or find out, what the shorthand for their job roles meant. As you said, some were easy but many of mine were SC&T or CC&T – and now I know, it all makes sense.

Nothing like taking up your own suggestion, is there? I’ve started compiling the abbreviations I can crack on my blog at http://www.cutlock.co.uk – http://cutlock.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/getting-posted-to-the-post-office/ Add your own in the comments if you will.

Plus one to Gerald’s comment. Certainly would be useful to have some key to the common abbreviations (although some aren’t THAT difficult to work out). I’m sure there’s people out there who could help compile this, if it doesn’t exist already.

Is there some source that identifies the various codes used within the Appointment books? For someone with no knowledge of the post office positioning structure the codes are a mystery.
