MICRO WRITING EXAMPLES, UPDATED 2nd April 2020

THE CODE PAGE MICRO WRITING

With more than 6000 images taken of the code page and other documents over the past 10 years, I though it would be useful to bring some together on the one page so that people can see for themselves just where examples of micro writing are to be found. It's not only within the letters of the code but also in the 'open spaces' on the page.

As you can see above, I have indicated a point on the top right marked over area that contains two examples, there are more in this same area but for the purpose of this page, I will stick to just these two:

Importantly, whilst I have been showing and demonstrating how this writing may have been executed for at least 8 years now, it is only relatively recently that the words of Detective Brown were made publicly available:

'Len remembers that the code and nurse’s phone number were in the back of the book in pencil. The phone number was in very tiny lettering. Len stated that the phone number was written under the code. (We are now able confirm that the code was indeed on the back dust cover of the book. Len's testimony that the phone number was below that code and not beside it does concur with physical evidence from what we now believe to be the exact size of the book)'

A close up of the top right corner but highlighted:

You can see some markings within the red highlighted box but not quite as clear as they could be.

View 2

This is exactly the same image but it is inverted and lightened a little:

Above you can readily see two strings of micro written numbers within the highlighted box.

The upper string appears to read: 

53436359466

The lower string is a bit more interesting as it starts with what looks like a Pound sign :

£25329

When you examine this image closely, you can make out more examples, one a little above the upper string of numbers and the other set os at the base of the image and about centre in the shaded area.

Note

What many have done over the years is to look at this code page as it is first presented i.e. square on and reading top to bottom. The reality is that in practice, the person who wrote this page did so at different angles and with different implements. Thus in this case we inverted an image and in another case, which I will post at a later date the image itself is turned into the negative view.

You are welcome to download these images of course, I used the code page from the Adelaide University WIKI which you can also download.

MORE EXAMPLES

The first two examples, letters 'A' and "Q', in this section were taken using UV lighting and oblique, macro lens, camera angles.

The image below of the letters T and G from the last line of the code (taken in 2015) were also using macro lens camera and UV lighting turned to greyscale:

In the next post I will:

1. Describe the process used to access the corner image and number strings.

2. Show images that give us an indication of just who might have written the page.
