CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIAL.
The draftsman handling the drawings and other original material
submitted by the author of a report for its illustration should first
group them, as far as possible, into kinds or classes, in order that
he may decide how each illustration should be prepared (1) to express
most effectively the author's purpose, (2) to insure reasonable
economy in preparation and in reproduction, and (3) to meet the
requirements of the processes of reproduction selected. All similar
illustrations for one publication should be prepared in the same
general style. In a series of geologic sections, for example, the same
lithologic symbols should be used throughout for the same kinds of
rocks. The titles, explanations, and captions of the maps should also
agree with one another in general style and in details of workmanship.
