Drafting room methods . g the long, flat table with tilting board at the left anddrawers at the right over two small drawersfor tools and books and onelarge drawer for drawings areadvisable.

Thumb Tacks. — Small tacks with thin pins and heads are the most satisfactory both for ease in removing and least damage to the boards. T Squares. — Those of hard wood with fixed heads and celluloid edges are the best for general use if it is not desired to go to the expense of fitting the boards with the sliding straight edge kept parallel with cords and pulleys. If the latter is used it should have the cords below the top of the board and have a wood grip screwed to the center for handling it and forming a place for the scale, pencil, and rubber. Tracing Cloth. — It is advisable to order tracing sheets cut to the sizes required and with the border lines, material. Fig. 2 ORGANIZATION 15 list headings, and title forms printed on them. This willgreatly improve the appearance of the work, and the costwill be less than buying cloth by the roll when the savingin cloth and time is considered. IIORGANIZATION The drafting force may be divided as required intogroups or squads for the following classes of work: Architectural and Structural Electrical Mechanical Topographical General and Tracing. Each group should be in charge of a designated head,through whom all work for that group should be givenand thereafter followed up. The drafting work should be apportioned to give eachgroup its special class of drafting whenever possible. The head of any group should cooperate with the othersin the use of his men when requested, and it can be donewithout detriment to his own work. In such cases thedraftsmen thus temporarily assigned to another groupwill be under the direction of the head of that groupuntil the completion of the work. Admin
