AFAIK, "Form 19" is just that; a form.  It was(is) largely filled in  by 
hand by the operator from orders given by the dispatcher.  From what I  recall 
of the few I've seen, there is a line for the date to be written in,  "Form 
19" is printed on the paper, and there is a "To" with a line after  that.  
Most of the form is blank and the operator would write the  instructions." 
Jim,
That's the way I remember them. Before the forms  and Operator's demise, 
the dispatcher would call the operator who then copied  the order by hand. The 
operator would then make carbon copies and have them  hanging around the 
desk. When clearing a train he would gather the specific  number designated by 
the dispatcher and group them together with a clearance  card, making 
enough sets as were needed for the crew.
For our CTC controlled district they mostly amounted to only speed  
restrictions and such. Of course the Punkin' Vine crews got meet orders and  such 
mixed in. 
Here is a link to what the form looked like:

I have a complete pack of these onion skins.
