(d) Sixteen-letter counts.

A 16-letter count is made on wheels AA-AA, primarily in order to choose and deciban runs to improve ΔΧ₅ (25B (d), (e)). Only /9 and 58 seem to be worth while. The pencilled letters at the right indicate a justifiable suspicion that the wheels are inside out (25D (f)); but it is decided that reversal would be premature.

Runs are entered in pips on the run sheets, but in decibans on the wheel sheet (Fig. VI).

ΔΧ₅B is a great improvement. A fourth 16-letter count is made before doing runs for ΔΧ₄. The suspicion that the wheels are inside out grows.
