Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Third article in Ralph Griswold's code drafting series, which converts text into weave drafts by assigning characters to shafts. It argues that code drafting should include blanks, digits and upper- and lowercase letters, and uses the 95 printable ASCII characters as a basis. It gives character frequencies from 1,830 'farberisms' (69,675 characters) and a four-shaft balanced 95-character code table for overshot. The last page shows a sample woven wall hanging made from the string 'Screw the &*%^$#/@\ dummies!'.
