9136. Marking Manuscript for Editor 



Those words and phrases that are to be printed in capitals, bold face, or itahcs 

 should be indicated by the writer of the manuscript himself. This must be done, 

 section by section as written and while the information is fresh in mind, so that em- 

 phasis may be placed more readily and accurately w^here it belongs and only there. 

 The size of the type will be determined by the Editor, who uses the table of contents 

 as his guide. 



All type marking for the printer is done by the Editor, who uses only one family 

 of type, the "Century." This family has been developed by the Government Printing 

 Office to give any size or style of type face desired. By using only one family of type, 

 the expense of typesetting is greatly reduced. 



Except for center heads, words should very seldom be printed in capitals. Center 

 heads should be given in position, centered, and typed in capital letters in the manu- 

 script. 



Bold-faced type is used in the text to enable the reader to locate readily names 

 and items of more than average importance, and it is indicated in the manuscript by 

 a horizontal bracket over the word or words to be bold-faced. But too much bold 

 face fails to accomplish its purpose and should be avoided. 



The words "caution," "danger," "warning," "rock," etc., are sometimes printed 

 in bold face to attract the reader's attention. All names and phrases to be indexed 

 should be in bold face, as well as paragraph headings such as "Directions," "Supplies," 

 "Pilots," "Ice," "Currents," and "Tide." The figures of recommended courses should 

 be in bold face, as "273°." 



Italics may sometimes be used in the text, as for the name of a vessel, but their 

 general use is not recommended. All words to be italicized are underscored. 



Tables are printed according to standard rules and no marking by the writer is 

 required, except that the table heading is underscored if it is to be italicized. 



9137. Requisition for Printing 



Form 757, in quintuplicate, is required. A sufficient number of copies should 

 be ordered to last the life of the edition. If an underestimate is made and a reprint 

 is required later, it can be made by the photolithographic process at a cost only slightly 

 more than that of plating. Do not order plates ordinarily.
