The left-hand line of this portion of the letter is concaved, and this portion of the letter is concaved at its upper termination. rIhe upper portion of the letter O is provided with an octant termination, and its lower portion terminates in a curved line. The letter E is provided 'with the octant terminations for its horizontal lines. The letters F, G, and T have the octant terminations at the top.

The letters U, V, W, and Y have the triangular termination at the top of' the right-hand line.
