The Museum on the Mound is a boring name for a quite interesting museum - it's in the basement of Bank of Scotland's headquarters, and is full of exhibitions of How Banking Used To Be Done back in the good old days before Kerviel and Leeson and Adoboli were household names.
This is a codebook used for sending telegraph messages about the markets - partly to save on characters, and partly for obfuscation. You don't want to hear "Responding" if you're trying to buy a few billion of "Retort".
