Size
Number of 1/32nds on inserts less than 1/4 I.C.
Number of 1/8ths on inserts 1/4 I.C. and over.
Regtangle and parallellogram inserts require two digits:

1st Digit = Number of 1/8ths in width
2nd Digit = Number of 1/4ths in length
Thickness
Number of 1/32nds on inserts less than 1/4 I.C.
Number of 1/16ths on inserts 1/4 I.C. and over
Use width dimension in place of I.C. on rectangle and parallelogram inserts.
