#22I will admit I lost interest after it was revealed that the letters had been replaced several times and that the original was most likely correct. "frank lloyd wright messed up the orientation of an H" has a bit of interest to it; "some random later person messed it up" has none.

#23Given that there had been wrongly installed letters continuously since at least 1956 and we have no proof that an entirely "correct" version ever existed, I'd consider the inverted H historically accurate and I hope it won't ever get fixed and especially not as an overreaction to the article.

#24For the love of all this is holy, do not read this article. If the internet has taught has anything, it's that you cannot unsee an image - I predict you will not be able to unsee upside-down H's (and even an S) post-reading. Save yourself.

1) it's called a hobby
2) it's called research and there are whole ministries dedicated to answering random questions like this one
Re: H-Bomb: A Frank Lloyd Wright typographic mystery
#26All this because some guys installed the letters wrong? Is this some kind of joke, or is the author really lost in some conspiracy-level detail tracking, hunting for "hidden signals"?
I think you need to touch some grass if you don't know the difference between curiosity (searching for the answer and evidence) and conspiracy (inventing answer out of nothing and ignoring the evidence)

#27Nobody speaks about the way larger spacing between "AND THE" in comparison to the other spaces...

Given that the original drawings did show all letters in the orientation that's obviously correct for the font, I'd be hesitant to say the upside-down installations were ever historically accurate. It most certainly wasn't FLW's vision.

A long and venerable litany of spaceflight disasters would beg to differ:
- Apollo "Little Joe" A-003 (May 19, 1965): A roll gyro - Proton-M Launch Failure (July 2, 2013): Yaw sensors - Genesis Space Probe (2001): Accelerometer
Getting things the right way round is very important.

If you ever want to watch a movie again, do NOT work on codecs. Just saying.
