Blues,
Great question and timely too. This gives us all a chance to note Mr. Aresti's passing in 2003.
I hope my answer is correct. I lifted this from an IAC page:
Jose Louis de Aresti Aguirre, widely known within the aerobatic community and member of the International Aerobatic Club (IAC)--most widely known for his work in developing the aerocryptographic system, or shorthand, for recording aerobatic maneuvers, more commonly known as the “Sistema Aresti” or Aresti System.
His aerobatic figure diagrams allowed internationally competing pilots to communicate, even when they did not speak the same language. The Aresti System is accepted worldwide as the system of drawing aerobatic figures.
