Answer 1

The pin tumbler lock is a lock mechanism that uses pins of varying lengths to prevent the lock from opening without the correct key. Pin tumblers are most commonly employed in cylinder locks, but may also be found in tubular or radial locks.

Each letter indicates which pin, has how much of a cut to match the key.

Any decent locksmith should be able to help you out.

Ford has always been involved in the community - like Nazi community - so they are trying to teach their customers the beginning of alphabet but not more - those who master at least half of it wouldn't buy a ford.
