[Illustration]
Reckoning small o, one-sixteenth of an inch high, as one space, small g
should extend three spaces, or three-sixteenths of an inch below the
base line, while the loop of q and abbreviated g should extend two
spaces below.
The loop of d extends about two and one-half spaces above the base.
Writing which is good in other respects is often spoiled in the written
page because the loops are too long, extending into the lines above and
below.
The count for each letter in groups of five should be 1–2, 3–4, 5–6,
7–8, 9–10, and the speed should be: small d, from sixty-five to seventy;
g, from sixty to sixty-five; and q, about fifty to the minute.
