Spell out o’clock when anatomic position is described in terms of clock-face orientation as seen by the dictator.

+

These are not expressions of time; do not transcribe them as such.

+

These expressions form a compound modifier preceding and modifying the word position and therefore are hyphenated.

+

+

If the word position is not dictated but is clearly implied (i.e., it is obvious that the reference is to an anatomic position in terms of clock face orientation), then transcribe the full expression to avoid confusion.

+

+

When the position is expressed as a partial hour, omit the word o’clock, even if it is dictated.

The above table illustrates a very easy-to-follow system for roman numerals. When a roman numeral precedes another of greater value, it dimishes the value of the following letter. A bar over the roman numeral indicates the value is 1000 times greater, as shown on the chart above. (Roman numerals will not be reviewed in detail – these are taught in elementary school. It’s unlikely you’ll be adding and subtracting them – a basic understanding is all that’s necessary.)
