<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lizjewel, post: 4274785, member: 13874&quot;]My father was presented with a pedometer for his birthday some time in the late 1950s. He was an avid sportsman and liked walking, wanted to know how many steps he took in an average 3-5 km walk. The pedometer I bought for saved-up babysitting monies cost 15 Swedish Crowns I recall, at a dime store, equivalent to Woolworth&#039;s. My babysitting monies in those days was about that for 3 hours, 5 Crowns per hour. The pedometer worked fine actually, dad liked it a lot. The rate of exchange in those days was 5 SEK to 1 US $. That rate was in effect for many years, up to the time when the U.S. went off the gold standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
