As shown in [fig. 18], at the word one make the lower point; at the word two the upper point, a little to the left; at the word three draw a line rapidly from the upper to the lower point, and “timing” the process by repeating one, two, three, make the additional parallel lines.

BROKEN LINES.

A broken line is composed of two or more straight lines at angles to each other (see [fig. 19]). To draw them begin (saying) one, make a point; two a point below at the left; three, a point above at the left; four, draw a line from the left hand point to the lower point; at the word five, from the lower point to the upper right hand point. For practice draw numerous lines in the same way, keeping them parallel to each other, as shown in [fig. 20].
