6518 APPENDIX cialists frequently experienced difficulty in securing accurately the names of brokers with whom transactions were made, with the result that a great mass of so-called “don’t know” contracts rapidly accumu- lated. In order to clear up these and other kindred misunderstandings, specialists were compelled to be at their posts on the floor Friday and Saturday, November 1 and 2, when the Exchange was closed, and for the first time in history all the morning of Sunday, November 3.
