Subject: Anyone remember "floating period"?

I know some of you, at least from the 60s and 70s, remember "floating period." As best as I remember, whatever class you had for floating period took the place of a different period each day. I don't think it ever affected the period in which lunch took place, but I believe it affected all the others---meaning that any class (except the lunchtime period) met only four of the five days per week, since on one of those days it was replaced by floating period.

This was a unique concept that I've never seen anywhere else, and I taught school a few years in several different schools. Do I have the details right? How long did "floating period" go on until it was phased out? I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who maybe remembers it better than I do! Thanks!
