Keys - Non-Ace was RE: ACE Key codes (xx2247 etc.)

[jwsmobile]

Also reference how you counted them, clockwise or counter clockwise.  
There may be a standard, in a recent exercise with Jay West (who knows 
more on this than I do) the locksmith we went to to have some of Jay's 
measured keys made was used to people not recalling when they had the 
codes that Fred references.

A friend with a locksmith made keys from Jay's measurements and they 
have been verified (the measurements) to make keys from scratch w/o a 
master.

thanks
Jim
