For his memory records, Bell linked defined images to form a story. He has a person, an action and an object for the digits from 0 to 99. For the first two digits of a six-digit number, he takes the representative person in his head as the actor. The next two positions form the verb and the last two positions the object.

He then uses the loci method to store these mini-stories on mental paths in his head through visualization.
