 Cryptography-Digest Digest #265
The results which we obtain could lead us to consolidate the John Tiltman's assumption according to which the Voynich manuscript would be written with a synthetic universal language.
The assumption raised by Tiltman, and according to which the written language of the manuscript is probably a synthetic universal language, could be the cause of this characteristic.
Indeed, in the universal language of Raymond Lulle but also in the universal language of Athanasius Kircher, Dalgarno or Wilkins, the words and the sentences are successively repeated and differ only on the substantive, the adjective, the verb of the proposal or on another symbol used as a changer of reference [4].

In December 1941 John Logie Baird accepted a consultancy with Cable and Wireless, the crown corporation that controlled all official communications in Britain, at a salary of £1,000 a year.
Mr Heath said that while he laid the cables, Baird operated from the rear of a truck that was positioned between the barrack square and the edge of a canal.
His statement implies that John Logie Baird was not only working on television for public use, but also for use in secret signalling for the armed forces as early as 1928, the same year he sent "the first advertisement sent by television in the world."

This egregious error was the chance for which BP was waiting and a team headed by Colonel John Tiltman deciphered the message in short order.
Tiltman passed the material along to a young Cambridge mathematician, Bill Tutte, who immediately set to work in a attempt to determine the principle by which the Lorenz machine worked.
Incredibly, only four months later Tutte and BP had a working knowledge of the internals of the machine and were able to build an electro-mechanical analogue - the Tunny machine.
