Description:
WHAT I CLAIM AS MY INVENTION IS:-

1. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each of a plurality of characters may be formed with at the most two intervening movements of the stencil solely backwards or forwards along a straight line during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the characters formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these characters.

2. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each of a plurality of characters may be formed with at the most one intervening movement of the stencil solely backwards or forwards along a straight line during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the characters formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these characters.

3. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each letter of the alphabet may be formed with at the most two movements of the stencil during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the letters of the alphabet formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these letters.

4. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each letter of the alphabet may be formed with at the most one movement of the stencil during formation, the stencil being at the most one-.quarter as long as the length occupied by all the letters of the alphabet formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these letters.

5. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each letter of the alphabet may be formed with at the most one movement of the stencil solely backwards or forwards along a straight line during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the letters of the alphabet formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these letters.

6. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each numeral from nought to nine may be formed with at the most two movements of the stencil during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the numerals formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these numerals.

7. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each numeral from nought to nine may be formed with at the most one movement of the stencil during formation, the stencil being at the most one-quarter as long as the length occupied by all the numerals formed by it when placed contiguously side by side and being not substantially wider than the height of these numerals.

8. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each letter of the alphabet may be traced, consisting of a skeleton made up of a number of bars interconnected to form together letters of the alphabet, certain of said bars being common to more than one letter.

9. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each letter of the alphabet may be traced, consisting of a skeleton made up of a number of bars interconnected to form together letters of the alphabet, the majority of said bars being common to more than one letter.

10. A stencil from which substantially the whoa of each numeral from nought to nine may be traced, consisting of a skeleton made up of a number of bars interconnected to form together the said numerals, certain of said bars being common to more than one numeral.

11. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each numeral from nought to nine may be traced, consisting of a skeleton made up of a number of bars interconnected to form together the said numerals, the majority of said bars being common to more than one numeral.

12. A stencil from which substantially the whole of each of a plurality of characters may be traced, consisting of a skeleton made up of a number of bars interconnected to form together said characters, certain of said bars being common to more than one character, said skeleton being provided with at least two projections of equal length from one side thereof, the ends of which projections may be brought to bear on a straight edge and moved therealong whereby movement of the stencil in a straight line may be assured.

13. A stencil according to claim 12, in which the ends of the projections are joined by a bar.
