Letter picture

Agentzia Blatt: [$]. No.3, 1971

Item — Folder 10: [Barcode: 31858069877912]

Identifier: CC-23520-23965

Scope and Contents

A large letter 'S,' flanked by two vertical 'I's' to the right, are formed by typewitten generated words. All words in the 'S' begin with the letter 's,' whereas the words in the two 'i' columns, which should begin with the letter 'i,' lack this letter. It is up to the reader to utilize the letter 'i' when reading the text in these columns. The words appear to be randomly chosen as in automatic writing but have political overtones. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
