THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM
VERSE 70 SECRETS REVEALED

| Microcode shown on the book edge, approximate size is 4mm. It has been expertly done. |

| Corner of the book edge where it meets the spine. Microcode is evident |
These examples are from the top of the page, where the outer cover adjoins the inside of the page. The edge forms part of the image of Verse 70 in the Alf Boxall book. I have a comparison page from an identical version of the Boxall book and will be publishing images of the same areas from the comparison book over the weekend. I can tell you that the book cover edge shows nothing like the images above and in the presentation below.
THE WHOLE GAME HAS CHANGED...
In this presentation, we will show you a clandestine communication technique that has never been seen publicly before and it was used in the copy of the ROK supposedly given by Jo Harkness to Alf Boxall. ENJOY! You can download a full-size PDF of this presentation here...

Micro Writing
Who would have thought it possible that micro writing would have been hidden in the border of the paper, more to the point, who would have thought of looking for micro writing? To paraphrase the JB Hi Fi advert "Gordon, you've done it again". Keep up the great work. Clive
ReplyDeleteHi! Given that there's micro-writing in lots of places on a page, is there any sense of how it's to be read? In what order, for example. Left-to-right-top-to-bottom? If the micro-writing is plaintext then I suppose a word order could be fairly obvious. But if it's encrypted text, then the order and grouping is presumably of paramount importance?
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts. At this moment, I have been focusing on recovering examples wherever they appear and very honestly I haven't spent a great deal of time thinking through how what we see is to be read. I suggest that it's encrypted text to be read left to right with plain text where there is no coded equivalent as in names or initials including 232J RAN and the Hull numbers of other ships as in CA 23. I agree that we will have to work on just how groups are organised and, for that matter, which groups could be just padding. In some instances the strings are inverted for whatever reason. It may be that what we see is coded information taken as notes as events happened? What thoughts do you have?
DeleteOmnibus, what I didn't mention was that this book and its markings were, in my view, used at a training session. I believe it was meant to demonstrate the different techniques of concealing code/words including the use of the edge of the cover of the book. If we compare it to the code page, the micro written component is hidden within the actual letters, like a filing system in some ways. There are one or two places on the code page where the letters/numbers appear in open spaces outside of the letters and marked over areas. One example is the 'X 283' found near the base and between the T and M of the last line of the code.
