Need help deciphering shorthand doc

NOT PITMAN, apparently

I sent the page of shorthand to the person recommended to Lutz by Dresden museum, and she was kind enough to examine it for me. Here's her reply:

"... I wondered whether it was Pitman's Centenary and contacted a more knowledgeable source:

'With regards to the attached shorthand - it is not Pitman (as there is a thickened stroke written upwards that looks like an "L").  Pitman from the outset realised that it would be difficult to write thick strokes upwards - so eliminated it - therefore this is not Pitman.  It could be something like Sloan-Diployan - but not sure.'"

Hmmm - what next? IAN

I wonder if there's a professional body for secretaries that might be able to help?  Perhaps somewhere like this?  http://uksecretaries.co.uk/ 

Maybe one of their members would recognise or be able to transcribe the shorthand?

I think it would need to be one of their older retired members by now.
