sๅๅoɹ saddle

I'd like to know how you inverted the text....... not on the saddle, but on the computer screen.

Hey that's good. I guess there's solutions for everything on the web.... Maybe 'make yourself a million' Hmm I suspect those ones are scams

I recall a Rover car (2000 I think) where the lettering on the boot was R O V R E. It was like that from the factory but I don't know how it could have occurred.

Brummie humour/foreman revenge?

Maybe, but curious even so. Perhaps in a similar way like the saddle

Thing is, as much as receiving goods with faulty cosmetics is annoying, sending them back and having a replacement with a worse fault is time consuming and even more annoying.
A car is for some a status symbol and a incorrect name plate a massive embarrassment. A saddle with an upside down label though, who would even know in these times of trendy labels whether it was wrong or not?

I'm ok with it

posted mainly for a little light entertainment ....
even had a good bit of banter with John from SPA cycles ...

The s button doesn't work on my keyboard!

Back in my old days working on comms and cryptography equipment, this was often typed on the teleprinters.
It's one sentence that I could type blindfold.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

We used to have teleprinters and they rattled away spewing out miles of paper, much of it going unread. Every-so-often there'd be something requiring action and they would "put a bell on it." ie The bell on the receiving machine in a police station would ring until somebody typed an acknowledgement. On one occasion there was the usual uproar when a TPM was acknowledged but unactioned. An irate inspector gave it to me to trace the culprit and the acknowledgment was half-a-dozen numbers. Anybody used to teleprinter machines - at least the sort we had - will know that they only printed in capital letters or in numbers all on the same keyboard. By looking which letters were on the same keys as the numbers in the acknowledgment, it became clear that the irate inspector was our culprit. He'd obviously typed an acknowledgment to silence the annoying bell without bothering to read the message he had acknowledged. The do say worse things happen at sea.

So how is it some of you folks are able to print letters upside down and back to front? Is it some kind of fiendish trick that came with the update?

Murray Code.
Five elements with a 1.5 length start and a 1 length finish, making one character 7.5 elements long.
....... or was it 1 element to start and 1.5 to finish? My memory is vague these days!

26 letters of the alphabet of course, but there was a "number shift" character and "punctuation shift" character, plus a "letter shift" to go back to letters. Also a "carriage return" for a new line character. 30 characters in all if my memory serves me.

First teleprinters I worked on were called Type12. Electrical mechanical machines first designed to work on 50bauds, but later they increased it to 75bauds. One baud was one character per second, so these machines rattled themselves to bits especially at 75bauds.

The Type 12, needed a specialist engineer to look after them. He had a separate workshop and spares and was employed every single day keeping the beasts going. He made sure there were spare machines that the operators could swap to in case of a breakdown, and he was on call-out 24/7 for them. That job, was his sole job onboard.

Later, they brought out electrical/electronic machines with a "golf ball" to hit the ink ribbon. They were designated TGN ....... RN was famous for using letter names and or numbers for equipment. The TGN was a vast improvement on the Type12.
Last I remember we had TGN5 ..... or was it 6 ......... in the late 1980s.

Then, we went all digital to DIMPS - Digital Information Messaging Processing System in my latter ships. Probably still used now.

So how is it some of you folks are able to print letters upside down and back to front? Is it some kind of fiendish trick that came with the update?
