ABSTRACT SEEING that excellently designed numerals are common on the scales of instruments, and bad styles are rare, I have been surprised at the interest which has been taken by engineers
and others in the proposed numerals which were illustrated in NATURE of February 24. I have adopted some of the suggestions which I have received in the revised set here illustrated. My
intention eight years ago was to produce designs suitable for the scales of measur_ing_ instruments and for the dials of engine counters and electric supply meters, where the numerals appear
through holes. Most of the suggestions which I have received since my paper appeared in the Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers relate to numerals punched on metal. Access
