How the 14 ASCII characters per node are encoded into the record groove.

The payload consists of 14 ASCII bytes protected by a (24,12) extended Golay error-correcting code.
The symbol duration is exactly 1.408 seconds, corresponding to a symbol rate of 0.7107 baud (14.2 Hz / 20).

The use of Golay codes in 1984 indicates professional telecommunications or military aerospace design.

The song wasn't written around the lyrics. The lyrics were timed to match the telemetry packet duration!
