suggestion
I would suggest starting the article with a brief description of what IRIG time codes are, i.e. a dummed down description of what they are and what are they used for and stuff, before writing the history of them. Most people, including myself, search terms in wikipedia to get a quick idea of what those sort of technical terms mean. If needed, one can read on further to get more detail.
... my 2 cents.
correction
A list of "... recognized combinations ..." is listed. IMHO the writer was probably referring to an earlier version of the standard.
Table 4-1 of the new IRIG 200-04 standard permits other formats!
For example, Table 4.3 there specifically shows B124 to B127 examples, none of these listed in the "... recognized combinations ..." here.
more on combinations
B002 is a common combination. In fact, several IRIG clocks use B002 as a valid combination.
