I recently came across an idea about 26tET while messing with my
futon-bedframe acoustic mega-bass "monochord."

Then I Googled for 26tET and only got a few enticing references to it.
Are there more resources anywhere 0_o?

reiterated JI ratio scale idea: alternating sequence of:
22/21 (81cents) hard 1/2-step
15/14 (119cents) Henry Cowell just half-step

not sure . . . typically we were looking at linear scales (such
as "injera") that could work without too much additional error in 26-
equal, periodicity block bases for 26-equal in various limits, and
stuff like that . . .
