1. this is not a clumsy graph system but a species of mechanical brain that keeps continuous check upon and corrects small bogs of its own accord. It forecasts emergencies. This must have come from the Combat Information Center of World War II, by which swarms of fighter planes, bombers or landing craft could be individually directed with great ease. The board is a smooth finished surface with a number of holders of 8" by 10" (approximate size) graph paper. These papers are not stapled on but drop into a three-sided border, open at the top. New papers every quarter or so are put into the holder in front of the last quarter's sheet so that one can refer back. The board has various signs on it, one for each department. The graphs are in three horizontal lines for one organization, with space for two to three charts (in a single line) for each department. It is necessary for quick reading to have the graph sheets in long lines rather than in blocks-hence the board appears to be three long lines of graph, no matter how many graphs there are in how many departments.
