The letters from H to N (except J)--the right arm stands at A while the left moves round the circle for the other letters.
For O to S, the right arm stands at B--the left arm moves round as before.
For T, U, Y and the "annul," the right arm stands at C, the left moving to the next point of the circle successively.
The numerical sign J (or alphabetical sign) and V--the right arm stands at position for letter D the left arm only being moved.
{207}
W and X--the left arm stands at position for letter E, the right in this case moving down 45 degrees to show letter X.
For the letter Z, the left arm stands at the position G--the right arm crosses the breast taking the position F.
{208}
The letters A to I also stand for the figures 1 to 9 (K standing for 0), if you make the numerical sign to show that you are going to send numbers followed by the alphabetical sign (J) when the figures are finished. They will be checked by being repeated back by the receiving station. Should figures be wrongly repeated by the receiving station the sending station will send the "annul" sign (which is answered by the same sign) and then send the group of figures again.
