How about the following examples?
We used it to test our TELEX machines when we were testing
a TELEX exchange that was being designed. Hope they make sense.


(1) HOT QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER A LAZY DOG.
    . . ..... ..... . . . ...  ..    .... . .


(2) PACK MY BOX WITH FIVE DOZEN LIQOUR JUGS
    .... .. ... .... . .  . ... . . .. . ..

    They use all the alphabets (but some, more than once.)
    Dots (.) indicate the alphabets that count.
