It's "T".

The cleanness of the pinhole edge is of some importance; I tended to go for
aluminium foil as the light barrier, and a nice punched hole which I checked
with a magnifying glass before attachment to a modified de-glassed lens.

Good luck

David

I've had some success with black wrap over a lens adaptor.
If you don't have the luxury of testing exposure you can test at the
processing stage if you self process. Of course you need plenty of light.
Shoot slow and in the sunlight if you can.

Another thing you can do is look at the image through the pinhole from the
back with tissue paper in the gate to check what kind of field of view you
have. It's fiddley and you either need the camera running or you have to
turn the little knob near the speed control to "T" - or is it "I"? in order
to be able to hold the shutter open.
