A console (1) for facilitating the correct assembly and spacing of the characters forming a vehicle number plate. The console comprising a working surface (A) provided with guide members (2) for locating the top corners of the reflective backing panel of a rear number plate, and guide members (3) for the lower corners of the reflective backing panel of a front number plate. Tiles carrying the characters to be pressure transferred to the panels being laid on the panels with spacers as necessary. A table (15) provides a reference index letter datum according to the number and type of the characters so that the start point and the end point of the line of characters may be accurately referenced to indices (11,12) and (13,14) in order to obtain correct layout. The indices (11,12) and (13,14) are carried on rulers (4) and (5) hinged to the surface (A) at (6) and (7) respectively. The rulers serve to retain the reflective backing panels and align the tiles during assembly. A storage rack (9) with pockets (10) for the character bearing tiles is part of the console unit. <IMAGE>
