Where 1067 fits
Why 1067 is special
Narrower track is cheaper to build through mountains and slower to run on. Countries that chose it early are still constrained by that decision a century later, which is why Japan built the Shinkansen on separate standard-gauge track.

- History
In 1067, castle building began across England on a scale that reshaped the landscape (England).
- Technology & computing
Cape gauge at 1,067 mm was chosen for cost in difficult terrain and permanently caps speed and capacity. Japan's answer was to build an entirely separate standard-gauge network rather than convert.

1 × 1,000 + 6 × 10 + 7 × 1 = 1,067. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

17 × 60 + 47 = 1067. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
