I just started to reread through I wrote, and I found at least one error.
60 wpm produces 25 dots and 25 inter-element spaces (50 total code elements)
in sixty seconds. Each dot or each inter-element space occupies 1/50 of a
second or 20 ms.
That should read:
60 wpm produces 25 dots and 25 inter-element spaces (50 total code elements)
PER second. Each dot or each inter-element space occupies 1/50 of a
second or 20 ms.
Of course at 60 wpm, we would produce 25*60=1,500 dots in a second but I
think you'll agree it is much easier to count the dots in one second (25)
than to count the dots in one minute (1,500).

David who is going back to dot counting.
