Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ambigram « M. H. Hill », « Bet », « bung », « maw », « pad », « hay », « dip », by B. R. Bligh and Clarence Williams, published in September 1908 in The Strand Magazine. 180° rotational symmetry. Text says: "MORE REVERSIBLE WORDS. Seeing the reversible word « chump » among your « curiosities », I am sending you a name, « W. H. Hill », which, when written in the style shown, reads the same when reversed. Surely this is the only name possessing so convenient a peculiarity. - Mr. B. R. Bligh, 2, Porchester Mews, Bayswater, W. In writing the word « Bet » so that it reads the same when upside down, I have simply written the letter B twice – once with the paper inverted. Three letters and one word are thus twice repeated. Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly. I also send you five more examples of reversible words. - Mr. Clarence Williams, 2016, Bright Street, Carbrook, Sheffield."
