The Stem of r is made like the Stem of i. To make the small Branch proceeding from the Stem set your Compasses to half the Stem, viz. 1 ¾, and placing one Foot in Parallel 28 ¼, Erect 14, describe the small Circle for the Dot of the Branch. Then divide the Parallel distance between the Centre of the Dot and
the left hand stroke of the Stem into two equal parts, and placing one point of your Compasses in the Head-line, direct the other point on the Erect of the Division made before, between the Centre of the Dot and the left hand stroke of the Stem, (as at 1.) and on that Centre describe the upper Arch to joyn the Dot and Stem together. To describe the under Arch divide the distance between the Dot and right hand side of the Stem into two equal parts, and set that off from the Stem in the Parallel of the former Centre, (as at 2.) and describe the under Arch of the Branch. Footing is made as before.
