Stephen L. Robinson, The Robinson Telegraphic Cipher
“ Time is too valuable these days of rush, to use a dollar's worth hunting through a big code to save a few cents in Telegraph Tolls.Better use two code words, combining the phrases of each, for even then you will seldom fail to get your Telegram inside ten words.The All Important Thing is Safety.Very few realize the liability of error by the receiving operator in receiving cipher or code words by sound, where the connecting words are no help. ”
