REPETITIVE RUDIMENTS

a procedure of running rudiments developed in 1962, where the auditor at first does not consult the meter, but asks the rudiments question of the pc until the pc says there is no further answer. At this point the auditor says, "I will check that on the meter." And asks the question again. If it reads, the auditor uses the meter to steer the pc to the answer, and when the pc finds the answer, the auditor again lays the meter aside and asks the question of the pc as above until the pc has no answer. The auditor again says, "I will check that on the meter" and does so. The cycle is repeated over and over until the meter is clean of any instant read.

(1) run the rudiment as a repetitive process until pc has no answer;(2) consult meter for a hidden answer;(3) if meter reads use it to steer ("that" "that" each time the meter flicks) the pc to the answer;(4) lay aside the meter and do(1) and(2) and(3). The process is flat when there is no instant read to the question. (HCOB 2 Jul 62)
