My favorite tape was the 13 wpm one with "The launching of the
four stage rocket..." I still use that phrase in situations
such as "That really set me off like a four stage rocket...."
The 20 wpm had one with "...the foreman and his crew..." The
code groups had a bunch of interesting combos, and it took me
a while to realize that there were several pairs, one reading
forwards (FILSN) and one reading backwards (NSLIF), scattered
through the chart.
See what we have lost with Volunteer Examiners?? :-)
