*Moy Bonus Scheme commenced in July 1964.

†Certificate of Completion of the Broadmeadow was issued in December 1964.

The form in which the records are kept does not readily show the average bonus earnings per hour and the calculations of such averages for each month would be a very big task. Calculations made on the basis of a few representative weeks show bonus earnings on the Broadmeadow as 11¾d. per hour and on the Moy and the Inny as 11d. per hour.
