The French also persisted in placing both the leadpipe and bell of their cornets to the right of the valves in the 19th century. When Besson opened an English manufacturing operation, they built them with the leadpipe on the right, and the bell on the left. This became known as the "English model", until they all began to be built that way in the early 1900's.

There was also the Heraldic style of having leadpipe in front of the valve cluster, and bell behind, all in one line.

Using the phrase Tommy T referred to in his post ([redacted]) in a pay line one day was how we found out our squadron CO was proficient in Morse Code.

How would you put Morse Code in the Navajo language? That was the one code the Japanese could never break during WWII.
If I remember correctly, the Navajo language speaks very metaphorically which makes no sense unless you actually know the language and the respective meanings of the metaphor used.
A Star Trek used this format in a episode. Capt. Picard could not understand what the alien was telling him. Picard eventually figured it out.
