Disjoined Hand
[Make all the small letters, except f, i, j, k, t, x and y, without lifting pen from paper.]
Make g and Q in one stroke, moving from left to right like the hands of a watch. Begin on the line.
Take special pains with the letter r, as carelessly made it is easily mistaken for v or y.
Make the upper part of B, R, and S a trifle smaller than the lower part.
Figures. Make all figures without lifting the pen. Begin 4 with the horizontal line. Make the upper part of 3 and 8 smaller than the lower part; 8 is best made by beginning in the center.
