Wow, this is crazy, thank you so much for sharing! I love reading history like this! :D Every time I read about the history of character encodings I feel like I learn about a new encoding standard that attempted to standardize things. Reading about this led me to reading more about ASCII as well. I learned it was derived from the 1924 ITA2 standard which was itself derived from the "Baudot" printing telegraph encoding from 1874! It always amazes me how much history surrounds this topic!
