    Do we add tick marks on clocks if the print does not have them?
    I am working on a book that only has a few of the numbers on the clock face and no tick marks.

    Yes...minimumly the tick marks for the hours should be added to the circumference of the clock even if they are not shown in print. The braille reader would need a point of reference on the circle to know where each hour mark was placed. By just placing the numbers around the outside of the circle, the student would not know where on the circle each number was located. Section 6.1.1.7 states that it is not necessary to include tick marks for each minute when only five-minute intervals are required. That is the only place it mentions that some of the tick marks can be omitted.
