Default Fonts

Although I did not copy the reference I have read in documents found at Archives that, when numbers are applied using a stencil, the 'gaps' were to be filled in by hand.
I also have, at home and therefore I cannot post until tonight, a copy of the 1943 instructions which show, in 1:1 scale, the number style for each digit. It also shows the spacing for signs that consisted of 2 or 3 digits. The font for these signs is close to "Arial" or "Helvetica".
