Riassunto

Excerpt from The Practical Model Calculator, for the Engineer, Mechanic, Machinist, Manufacturer of Engine-Work, Naval Architect, Miner, and Millwright

Thus, in the number 1796, the 6 in the first place denotes only six units, or simply six; 9 in the second place signifies nine tens, or ninety; 7 in the third place, seven hundred; and the 1 in the fourth place, one thousand; so that the whole number is read thus One thousand seven hundred and ninety-six.

As to the cipher 0, it stands for nothing of itself, but being joined on the right-hand side to other figures, it increases their value in the same tenfold proportion: thus, 5 signifies only five.
