Would that requirement for accuracy and speed include telegrams encoded using a commercial code such as the acme?
Arbitrary key combinations strike me as harder to type fluently by feel compared to my native language. Following the piano playing analogy mentioned somewhere up the tree playing a melody in a definite key signature is easier than a 12-tone composition!
- Animats 10y agoI once found a commercial code in the Stanford library stacks. Common business phrases were encoded as four-syllable worlds. In the book was a loose piece of typewritten paper stating that after a cutoff date, the telegraph company would charge extra for non-dictionary words. This made the code worthless.
