[Duncan M. Brown]

I was a TTY repairman in the Army.  While on guard duty at our comm center, I used to try to write  pangrams (didn't know that was what they were called then).  The only good one that I ever came up with was:

"Queen Zelda V gets wildly excited just before the King jumps into bed."

Have fun,

Duncan

Hi Duncan:

What  is the significance of the "Pretty Emma" text?

I don't have a clue. BUT I like the way the 28 typebox jumps around and it's better than watching RYs.
Just my opinion.

Someone wrote to me the following: Is there any explanation of the nonsense text? I can only assume that it tests the bell crank mechanism by exercising it to its limits.


In later years they came up with the following:
AABBCCDDEE EEFFGGHHII IIJJKKLLMM MMNNOOPPQQ QQRRSSTTUU UUVVWWXXYYZZ

/AU;XI307!()1E E1()!703IX;UA/ A/C$ 


Do a Google search for 'pangrams' . (Meaning every letter.) I found it interesting.
