Mr. Cole. Individually.
Representative Ford. All of the illustrations on 784 A, B, and C are taken from Commission exhibits——
Mr. Eisenberg. 774–783.
Representative Ford. Collectively?
Mr. Cole. Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. Carrying that question forward, on what basis did you select excerpts from 774 to 783 to reproduce 784 A, B, and C?
Mr. Cole. The chief effort was to collect together in a fairly small space items that were appropriate for comparison through repetition of the same material, and in doing that there was kept in mind the general purpose of giving a good representative cross section of all of the writing habit illustrated in the standard writings.
Mr. Eisenberg. Well, that anticipates my next question, which is, whether this is a representative cross section or was selected in order to reproduce those particular characteristics you find in the questioned documents.
Mr. Cole. I think it is a representative cross section, and I say a part of the effort was to bring here some letters and combinations for convenience of comparison. It was in no way an effort to substitute these charts for the originals.
Mr. Eisenberg. Your actual examination was made on the basis of the originals or the charts, Mr. Cole?
