V Cross Section, Details of Long Raising Girderand Truss Connection. 25 the numerals themselves should stand out free and nottouch the former. Where the space does not permitthis, the reversed arrow heads may be used, so as toleave a clear space between them, as shown, for instance,at left of Fig. 40, in second row of dimensions from be-low. In the same figure the relative size of upright an inset sheet in Engineering News and yet showsthe lettering of the strain-sheet legible, sharp and cleancut, even under a magnifying glass. The pin points, asshown, are also made prominent by using upright refer-ence letters. Similar prominence may be given, for in-stance, to portions of a building, as shown in Plate XIV 20V. of Cross tiirders. ^ •€ 56 - -> Sectional Plan. KZ lOiiomall (Badr id Back ofEmlShff. Bj Fig. 42. lettering, as used for captions and sub-captions is Fig. 44 and on Plate III, upright lettering is also em-ployed to denote the strains for the respective members,in order to have same appear distinctly different fromordinary dimensions or descriptive matter. This platehas been considerably reduced in size from a drawing for on plan of sta,tion building. Notes referring to draw-ings should run parallel to base of sheet and be used as fillers. In Fig. 43 and Plate II, lettering as used on sketchmaps is shown. Here four distinctive styles, composedof the two alphabets above described, are employed. 26 The writer recommends, in such a case, to have thephysical features of a map, such as creeks, rivers, lakes,mountains, bays, inlets, denoted by all cap slantinglette
