Mr. Cole. Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you explain meaning of the term "cursive writing"?
Mr. Cole. Cursive means connected writing, as the term is used, with a running connected hand, whereas handprinting refers to the separate writing of letters without the connection of letters and usually involves a somewhat different style for the formation of letters, that is Roman capital letters or the lower case letters.
Mr. Eisenberg. Cursive writing then is the type of writing which we normally use, which connects—in which the letters are connected, the type which is taught in schools?
Mr. Cole. Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Cole, some of the standards which are in the group 774 to 783 are photographs rather than originals.
Mr. Cole. That is correct.
Mr. Eisenberg. Does a photograph in your opinion provide a sufficient standard on which to base a conclusion as to a questioned document?
Mr. Cole. Well, I believe these particular photographs are satisfactory for that purpose.
Mr. Eisenberg. Would you draw a conclusion as to the origin of a questioned document if your only standard was a photograph?
