no greater favour than having my alphabet made up
into Letraset.

This soon led to an interest on the part of Letraset in
my spacing technique and the following examples
(Figs. 36,37, 38,39) are partly the result of their
work and partly mine, but all of them are entirely in
the experimental stage.

Conclusion

There are many cutlets for An Optical Letter Spacing
Instrument. To name but a few :

1. The immediate assessment of a character thus
achieving instant correctness of position within its
right space. An entirely new symbol drawn and
photographed in the previous few minutes could be
incorporated correctly with the existing alphabet.
Expansion and contraction of text by using a constant.
If space assessment is incorrect to start with it will
probably look worse if expanded.

2. It could be used for mechanical reading, as there is
the ability to differentiate characters that have only
small variations. Further, a very slight alteration in
design can give a clearly differentiated signal. Thus

it could help towards the demise of the alphabet
developed for mechanical reading and with which
the eye has such difficulty in coping.

3. In the design of alphabets for typewriters, wheels,
etc., and otherforms of printing that by their nature
are limited to only a few unit spaces.

4. Traffic and directional signing. Applied letters.
