The circular disk 1 isV rotatably conf Y nectedmtothe cross arm -15 by means of the bolt,v 16 andthe nut-3. Thev lower ends of y,the side arms 2 areconnected together bythe straight edge 5., The straight edge `5 is proy yvided with a `recess 18, :indented thereon thruouttheentirelength of the Ysaid stra-ight l edge, so 'as to bring itin alignment in a horizontal plane I withjthev cross arm 15, so

The'straight .edge 5Yis turnedover on the end as indicated Y by thefnumeral117, this being done soy to facilitate the straight edge 17 being used with anotherv straight edge. The kstraight edge 5 is'also kprovided with a graduated scale 4 to provide means to assist in spacing the distance between thek letters'and nu-zv Vmei-als asthey are outlined from the disk 1. A series of lines? radiate from aV central point on the circular disk 1, which ldisk in this f particular Ycase is divided into v four separate circular spaces, and these radlallines designate the' position 'of the letter vor numeral on vdra-wingthat theV circular disk may. be divided :into anyfnumbe'r of'separate-circular 1 Vspaces,therefore,1I do not wish to limit'my-f lself'tofour circular :spaces as shown on Ithe drawingsv It -will also .be seen'zthatbyusing circular disk and spacing the letters; andnua:
