The other four

A full set is forty. The last four are not letters or numbers; they are grammar.

Three substitutes repeat a flag already flying above them, so one set can spell a word with a double letter.

The answering pennant acknowledges a signal, and between numerals it stands for the decimal point. We sew all four into every full set and describe them in the printed code book that goes in the bag with it.
