Well, besides all the stuff we usually find, I dug up this:
Mickey Mouse first appeared in a Disney cartoon called Steamboat Willie, the second audio synced cartoon ever, which had an eight minute runtime. Released Nov 18, 1928. Added to the Library of Congress in 1998. The only dialogue in the film is a parrot taunting Mickey, "Hope ya don't feel hurt, big boy! Ha ha ha ha ha!" and Mickey shouting "Help! Help! Man overboard!"
I'm really tired and should probably sleep, lol, but maybe tap code is involved? Right before Mickey gets thrown in the potato bin, he plays what sounds like a shave and a haircut on the cows two front teeth and tongue. A shave and hair cut is tap code/quadratic alphabet code. The mention of quadratic alphabet code on the Shave and a Haircut wiki has the the reference number 17 next to it too. I'm drawing blanks on how tap code can be applied to this clock - if it even can be. I may need to revisit this after some sleep.
This is interesting. I do think there is something here, but it's only loose speculation. I will let you know if I find something more solid behind it.
Under section "Popularity" - "The former prisoner of war and U.S. Navy seaman Doug Hegdahl reports fellow U.S. captives in the Vietnam War would authenticate a new prisoner's U.S. identity by using "Shave and a Haircut" as a shibboleth, tapping the first five notes against a cell wall and waiting for the appropriate response. U.S. POWs were then able to communicate securely with one another via the quadratic alphabet code.[17]"
Every article has source references that are numbered and listed at the bottom of the page. That’s how reference documents work. Every encyclopedia or article containing research sources will have that. The 17 just means it’s the 17th numbered source in the article

I’m on the shave and a haircut wiki. Am I missing the 17 reference? Where is it? I want to follow this path with you

…that’s the bibliography reference you nut.
