The samples were analysed using the innovative design of Forensic Doc-Scale patented as “PROTRACTOR’” (Design Patent No. 408390-001) to study various characteristic features like slant, alignment, angle of writing, proportional size, and aspect ratio etc. Analysis of few of the sample are shown below in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Similarly all the 200 samples were analysed using this specially designed Forensic-Doc Scale.

n the present study, the Forensic-Doc Scale provided appreciable measurement and analysis of the class and individual characteristics of the signatures. This invention “PROTRACTOR’ is found to be 2asiest, cumulative and accurate method to examine the handwriting characteristics along with dimensions. Also, moreover it was much easier to identify, measure, and analyse the handwriting characteristics using one single instrument. slant is moderate to leftward slant in both the sets of the signature with slant angle ranging from 95-100 degree approximately. While considering the proportional size i.e. length is to width ratio it was observed that in admitted signatures the ratio is 1.28 cm, whereas in disputed signature it is 1.25 cm. During the analysis of the sample it was observed that, while the alignment and the slant shows similarities among the two samples, however, there is slight variation in angle, proportional size and ratio. The aspect ratio difference is of 0.03 cm which is within the range of natural variations in genuine handwriting as human beings are not computers. Hence, mechanically what has been written first cannot be repeated in exactly similar manner. The results states that both the sets of signatures are made by one single writer. On the other hand, Fig. 2 demonstrate the examination of handwriting characteristics of the disputed
