10.15. Placement of Message. To position the message vertically, draw a horizontal line at the
midpoint of the fascia. Place the letters so that one-third of the capital letter height lies below the line
and two-thirds lies above it. In Example A, in Figure 10.8, 50 mm (2") of the capital letter shown is
below the centerline and 4" (100 mm) is above the centerline.
10.16. Long Messages. Long messages may require two lines. See Example B in Figure 10.8. The
fascia must be a minimum of 4 caps or 600 mm (2'- 0") high to accommodate two 150 mm (6") cap
height message lines. Separate the message lines with one-half the cap height or 75 mm (3").
Position the upper message line one-third of the capital letter height or 50 mm (2") above the
centerline of the fascia.
