[GreenKeys] Comma on [J] (was Teletype Pallet Set Available)

[Richard Knoppow]

    What is shown in the picture is AFAIK a Signal Corps inspection 
stamp. I have mostly seen these in combination with the MFP stamp for 
moisture proofing but I don't know if they always go together.
     The book I have was published in 1956. The "code card" shows ten 
versions, all of course differing in upper case but being the same in 
lower case. It does NOT show the weather symbols. I copied them from 
another source so that makes eleven sets. I strongly suspect there are 
others. It does not show the upper case combinations for the ARQ Moore 
code. I have not yet searched Nick's Navy web site but I would expect 
there to be more there.
