[CQ-Contest] Run rates back in the day

[Barry Merrill, W5GN]

KG4CS 1970 ARRL SS PHONE Hour 22 -  50 Qs.

KG4CS 1972 ARRL DX SSB   Hour  0 - 125 Qs
(Ended up Third Place, World, SB-102 no AMP).

I brought that 1972 hand written log to Dayton
a couple of years ago, and N6AA saw my fifth
QSO was a bust of his old callsign!

Hi,
 
I have a question for old time contesters.  Before the Internet,  packet
radio, DX clusters and skimmers, what were typical CW and SSB contest
running rates?  I imagine they must have been much less than current  ones.
