the letters and numbers is as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

The letters under each of the numbers have the value of the figure at: the top of the
column. Thus, in the word man, M = 4, A = 1, N = 5: a total of 10. The values of the
numbers are practically the same as those given by the Pythagorean system.
