Abstract (en)
By means of a standard, comprehensive numeral, chosen numerals in the set 1 to 9 and 0 can be prepared therefrom, thus simplifying manufacturing tooling and overcoming the problem of stock shortages resulting from the greater demand for certain numerals. The comprehensive numeral can be an 8 of stylised, rectilinear form which is traversed by an array of scores or lines of weakness (b), the lines being aligned with the internal edges defining the two openings in the numeral. By detaching selected portions (a, a<1>, a<2>...d, d<1>, d<2>, d<3>) from the numeral 8, any of the numbers 0 to 7 and 9 can be produced. The numerals can be used for signs such a house numbers.
