Mechanical drawing: lettering, materials and methods . igure by making a portion of a full ellipse at least two-thirds(2/3) the height of the letter. Finally add the horizontal strokeat the top, three and a half spaces long. In making the figure,care must be taken to bring the elliptical part to its proper heightabove the lower end of the inclined stroke. Make the diagonal stroke of the 4 at 45 degrees, the horizontalstroke five and a half (5%) spaces long, and third the inclinedstroke. Be sure to make the horizontal stroke of the figure aspace and a half (11/2) above the base. This figure is

Make the diagonal stroke of the 4 at 45 degrees, the horizontalstroke five and a half (5%) spaces long, and third the inclinedstroke. Be sure to make the horizontal stroke of the figure aspace and a half (11/2) above the base. This figure is commonlymade too narrow. In the figure 7, the horizontal stroke is made four and a half(41/2) spaces long, and the diagonal stroke at 45 degrees is broughtto a point at the bottom a space to the left of the starting pointof the letter.
