Inscription content:

"INGERSOLL LTD LONDON TRIUMPH".

Inscription description:

The print appears in black upper case lettering and is in italics apart from the word "TRIUMPH" that represents the type of Ingersoll watch. Different font sizes and levels of boldness are used, and the company crest is located above the print. The watch also has a metallic blue/green outline on the hands and diamond outlines positioned at the top of each number; there is also a second-counter located at the bottom centre.

Inscription description:

The content appears in upper case embossed lettering and forms part of the hallmark design for the company. The "I" appears in a larger font size and is located on a shield shape with horizontal lines for detail. There is an outline of a lion stood up on its hind legs, with front paws holding the shield; "INGERSOLL" appears underneath the design, and the initial letter "I" actually appears longer than the other letters in the company name.

Inscription description:

Stamped print appears in upper case lettering, and the two quotes are located one above the other. Note: the first quote curves around the base of the watch, and the letter "T" of "GT" in the abbreviation of the word "GREAT" actually appears smaller in font size, is located to the top right hand side of the previous letter "G", and has a horizontal underlining located underneath. The second quote appears to have a space between the two parts, and represents the serial number of the watch. Both the quotes are located on the bottom half of the back cover of the watch movement and appear upside down.

Inscription description:

Handwriting appears to be etched inside the back cover of the watch and uses upper case lettering; note: the last letter appears to be a "H" but could be a letter "A" and probably represents information relating to the manufacturer.

Inscription description:

Print appears in upper case silver lettering in different font sizes. The first set of words refers to the two sections appearing one above the other in rectangular shaped banners that curve upwards around the rest of the medal, and have a red enamel background. The second set of words has each word located one above the other in embossed silver lettering, and the last word "COUNCIL" actually curves upwards around the base of the medal. The medal itself appears to be mostly oval in shape in portrait, and has a laurel wreath design around the bottom two thirds of the medal with the second curved rectangle around the top third. In the centre of the medal towards the top half are two equilateral triangles, one inside the other, with a red enamel border between them and appears to be an emblem of road safety.

Inscription description:

The manufacturer's information appears in upper case embossed lettering , and is located within a rectangular embossed box in landscape. Each section appears one above the other and is centralised within the box.
