For rectangles and parallelograms two digits are necessary. 1st digit = number of eighths (1/8 ) in width. 2nd digit = number of quarters (1/4 ) in length. For equal sided inserts this indicates the inscribed circle (I.C.) in eighths (1/8 ) Examples, 6 = 6/8 = 3/4" I.C. 4 = 4/8 = 1/2" I.C. 2.5 = 2.5/8 = 5/16 I.C.
