Crossword 168: MP5

Margaret Sarah Carpenter, Mrs John Marshall, MP
Margaret Sarah Carpenter, Mrs John Marshall, MP

You’ve heard of MP3, a format for compressing recorded music files to a convenient size, and MP4, a format for compressing movies to a convenient size.  Now here’s MP5!  It isn’t a format, and it doesn’t compress anything to a convenient size.  It’s just a crossword puzzle.  Nevertheless,  in its quiet, unassuming way, it  makes its own tiny contribution to the sum of human achievement.
