Picking up a pointer, Bolt explained a large chart that presented the panel's findings in graphic form. A principal technique used in arriving at their conclusions, he noted, was to develop the tape "in a sense that you develop a picture." A fluid containing magnetically sensitized particles was rubbed over the tape. The particles arranged themselves in conformity to magnetic imprints previously induced on the tape by electronic signals in the original recording and erasing processes. Thus the imprints could be seen with the naked eye and photographed. Bolt also noted that the signals had been analyzed by oscilloscope...
...manually released at least five times by pushing other buttons. Each of these "off' signatures was preceded on the tape, logically enough, by an "on" mark. That meant that someone had pushed three buttons (two to start, one to stop the erase-record process) at least five times (see chart...

While he wrote Bleak House in 1852, for example, the Duke of Wellington was dying and Wells Fargo & Co. was being founded in the U.S. There is also a listing of virtually every character Dickens created (more than 2,000, if you are counting), down to the likes of Dick, Tim Linkinwater's blind blackbird in Nicholas Nickleby. Dickens' genius for names needs no underscoring, but to see so many of them together...
