The numbers 1, 2 and 3 indicate respectively the first, second and third
movements. For instance, A was represented by the combination 22, which
means that the flag must be swept to the left and back twice. B is
represented by the combination 2112, that is, a sweep to the left, two
sweeps to the right and a final sweep to the left, as shown in Fig.
151. The end of a word was represented by a sweep forward and back: the
end of a sentence by two sweeps forward and back, and the end of a message
by three sweeps forward and back. It will be noticed that the same
combinations are used for 2 and Z, 3 and tion, 4 and F, 5 and J, 6 and G,
7 and V, 9 and M, and 0 and B. The following abbreviations were given in
the Manual:

These abbreviations saved a lot of time, for when we wanted to signal the
word after instead of spelling it out--22-2221-2-12-211-3--we used the
signal for A--22--followed by 3 to signify that it was the end of the
word.
