Thank you for showing the working out. It took me a little time to get with the flow but I got there in the end.
I must admit that the plain wording is really interesting and a lot more likely than a lot of the geniuses/crack pots that put their solutions on out there.
I just wish Sanborn’s website was still going so that you could test your theory. I don’t really know what else can be done to bring your answer to his attention. :(
Just a quick question. As I type I am noticing the ” C I A T E S T T T” from the morse code and wondering how you were able to decipher this and not get an answer like “T ET E T T E” etc? I think they had this problem with the Morse code steel plates. Or was it just trial and error until something made sense?
