Hi wisty,
A search of "Draw several Numbers around a circle", yields:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29934480/draw-several-numbers-around-a-circle
also:
https://jsfiddle.net/ineffablep/x03f61db/
That jsfiddle code draws the numbers NON-radially, but the code provides valuable methods of generating the numbers.
The line:
code:
for(var i = 0; i < +$('input:text').val()+1; i++) {
looks like it generates the text numbers.
Then ad a For loop to place and rotate the 60 numbers... The For loop does the repetitive work.
Place i=1 (as text), at 12 O'clock, and rotate it -6 degrees. (with the rotate factory)
Place i=2 (as text), at 12 O'clock, and rotate it (-6 * i) degrees.
etc. up to i=60.
Gemarray might have useful code?
Note that to arrange 60 tangent circles with their centers on a big circle, the length of the side of the polygon, corresponding to the circle centers, is 2 TIMES the radius of the smaller circles.
This would yield the radius of the large circle. The 60 small circles could aid in sizing the text...

(I do not have the time to do the details... and there may be a few shortcuts in MoI to generate the number texts, etc. :-)
I am a little fuzzy on how to generate the Text, and place it at 12 O,clock... and specify the text size, versus the big circle radius...
It is assumed that the numbers are to be oriented radially, like on the dial of a safe?
