[CW] Signal Corps Morse Writing

[Henry Mei'l's]

Yes, theSG writing style is  fine for legibility -- but is it optimal if you have to copy at hi speed and don't have a mill at hand?

  Just for fun (and because I feel lazy today and don't feel like working on any of the projects adorning my bench.....)  I checked this against my 1941 copy of "Instructions for Use in Preparation for the rating of Radioman 3c"

  The only differences I found were the zero,  O, and Q all started at the 12 o'clock in the book.

  I never realized the a '1" had a bar across the bottom;  learned something new today!

    The Signal Corps and others used this style of writing to copy Morse.  It is a fast way to write Morse code down.
