Part 17 (1/2)

The sequence of the subsecondary is as follows:

III IIM IIO IMI IMM IMO IOI --- --- --- --- --- --- --- III III III III III III III

IOM IOO MII MIM MIO MMI MMM --- --- --- --- --- --- --- III III III III III III III

MMO MOI MOM MOO OII OIM OIO --- --- --- --- --- --- --- III III III III III III III

OMI OMM OMO OOI OOM OOO OOO, --- --- --- --- --- --- etc., to --- III III III III III III OOO

each numerator in turn becoming the denominator for the complete sequence of numerators as listed above.

IV. _Major:_

The following sequence is used when loops appear in both thumbs:

S M L S M L S M L - - - - - - - - - S S S M M M L L L

When whorls appear in both thumbs the sequence is:

I M O I M O I M O - - - - - - - - - I I I M M M O O O

When a whorl appears in the right thumb and a loop in the left, the sequence is:

I M O I M O I M O - - - - - - - - - S S S M M M L L L

When a loop appears in the right thumb and a whorl in the left, the sequence is:

S M L S M L S M L - - - - - - - - - I I I M M M O O O

V. _Second Subsecondary:_

SSS LLL.

--- to --- SSS LLL

The sequence for filing the second subsecondary is as follows:

SSS SSM SSL SMS SMM SML --- --- --- --- --- --- SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS

SLS SLM SLL MSS MSM MSL --- --- --- --- --- --- SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS

MMS MMM MML MLS MLM MLL --- --- --- --- --- --- SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS

LSS LSM LSL LMS LMM LML --- --- --- --- --- --- SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS SSS

LLS LLM LLL, LLL, --- --- --- etc., to --- SSS SSS SSS LLL

each group of the numerator becoming in turn the denominator for the complete sequence of numerators as listed above.
