Compressed Tries (Knuth 6.3p4)

In V3 Knuth, chapter 6.3, problem 4, there is a compressed version of a
trie.  Basically, a trie table of 360 elements was compressed into a table
of 55 entries.

However, I have found no explanation of how the compression was performed.

Any help on unlocking the mystery of the compression algorithm would be
greatly appreciated.
