THE PRIMARY CLASSIFICATION: For the purpose of obtaining the primary
classification, numerical values are assigned to each of the ten
finger spaces as shown in figure 347. Wherever a whorl appears it
assumes the value of the space in which it is found. Spaces in which
types of patterns other than whorls are present are disregarded in
computing the primary.
The values are assigned as follows:
Fingers No. 1 and No. 2 16
Fingers No. 3 and No. 4 8
Fingers No. 5 and No. 6 4
Fingers No. 7 and No. 8 2
Fingers No. 9 and No. 10 1
