Code words were sent over Telegraph (and telephone)
in place of long phrases. This made sending the message easier and
quicker, but required sender and receiver to work to the same
codes. Thus small pocket books were produced by LNWR (and other
railways including RCH  ) listing the phrases and the
codes. The examples given here come from a LNWR book dated 1921.
