And a railway pay cheque

Railway Pay Cheques were metallic tokens or tallies used to ensure appropriate payment to the correctly identified railway employee.

The one-sided identification cheques were usually drawn from the wages office on a Thursday, prior to the Friday payday. The cheques would then be exchanged for a pay slip, and the wages paid on signature. In many cases where pay cheques were in use they were often issued to each employee at the start of his employment and retained for the rest of the person's working life with the company. Specialised trays were used for storing these cheques. Stores, maintenance and other departments used this 'pay cheque' system. British Railways examples exist, however it is not at present recorded when their use ceased.
