Twenty-five years ago, working drawings and specifications of important structures were turned out without reference to other than a few documents dealing with materials and the technique of fabrication and assembly. During the intervening period no less than a revolutionary change has taken place. The production of a competent set of drawings, today, necessities reference to a vast amount of widely scatted information covering an endless list of materials and items of one sort and another-all of which involves highly specialized methods of production and assembly. Failure to produce drawings in conformity with current practice imposes a serious burden of additional cost without compensating gains.
