A short web article by Ralph Griswold, the second in a series on code drafting, in which letters of text are mapped to shaft pairs on a four-shaft loom. It gives English letter-frequency tables, alphabetical and by decreasing frequency, and shows that the three standard code tables from Part 1 are unbalanced in shaft-pair use. It then presents three frequency-balanced tables (Tables 4-6) and explains how they were built, with examples of strings that defeat the balance.
