The code was developed by Emile Baudot in 1874 to be used by telegraphers transmitting messages across wires. To create the code on the cover of the album the colored blocks are arranged in columns. In the lefthand column the black and grey colors are one block, the blank space below it is one block, and the red/orange, orange/green and green/blue combinations below are each one block. A colored block represents a 1 in the binary code and a blank block is a 0. Reading down, the code in the first column is 10111 which represents the letter 'X.' The far right colum reads 10101, the code for the letter 'Y.' The colums in the middle represent the & portion of the album title. In case you wonder what all the colors mean, it turns out they have no particular meaning and are only included for aesthetic reasons.- Nat ;)
