    • 1893, Bates Torrey, Instuction in Practical Shorthand, page 276:
      Hand position is best secured by dropping the fourth fingers upon P and Q and making the other fingers fall naturally upon the next figures in order, P O I U, for right hand, and Q W E R for the left; then place the right thumb on the space bar, and if the elbows are close to the body, a good hand position is attained.
