He says that in the late sixties an Israeli lock picker named Moshe Tavor allowed him to photocopy a set of "waves" that summarized most combinations in 5 pin cylinders. Jacques made himself a set that worked very well. Ten years later Nick Gartner (the founder of LaGard) took a photocopy of Jacques set for his own use. To Jacques surprise, a replica of his set of picks now known as the Computer Picks showed up in the HPC catalog. The kicker is that they were exactly the same as the ones Moshe made originally (without a computer) but that they were 30% too large. Jacques recommends reducing to 70% a photocopy of the HPC picks and making your own, which will work much better. Jacques also sells his own set of picks, but I suppose this information is available only in the restricted section. As an aside, when I first opened the box on my set of Computer Picks my (and I think everyone else) first reaction was that that are huge.
i think thats what he was referring to. if you print the pictures from the HPC website they will be reduced by 30% (70% of the real HPC pick size). which according to moshe is supposed to be better.
