This English layout is one used by Richard Lawrence, Printer, in Oxford in 2015. As with most Double cases, the position of the ligatures and punctuation differs (see for example Variations), and £ and j are in an unusual position.

The empty case configuration is Improved Double of Miller & Riochard in 1894. The earlier Double of Southward (1882) had 7 rows ie 49 boxes in the upper case bay, and a later Improved version of Miller & Richard (1895) has 5 rows of boxes, ie 35 boxes.
