Book excerpt: Excerpt from Script Phonography You see p 'and b are denoted by downward oblique strokes differing m size We need not make a hard and fast rule about the proportions to be observed between these two letters, but care should be taken to keep them, and all other pairs of letters distinguished by size, in striking contrast with each othe7, and the best Way to effect this is to mind the small-sized letters, and be careful to keep them small, and the large-sized letters will, as it were, take care of themselves. 'it is quite clear, for example, that if you make the p stroke large, you will have to make the b stroke propor tionally larger, to preserve that contrast which the eye can at once recognise, thus leading to a large, clumsy style of writing, and consequent loss of speed; whereas if the p' 'stroke be made small, say of an inch, its cognate letter b may be traced proportion 'al/g small, and yet the necessary cont1ast in size preserved. It is useful to observe the analogy which exists between the downward straight strokes representing our shorthand signs for p, b, and the downward strokes which form so large an element of the corresponding longhand letters; and, again, that b, the soft or long sounded letter, is denoted by the long stroke, and p, the shorter or more abrupt sound, by the shorter stroke.
