PROPOSED SYSTEM. 

 B. INTERNAL RELA TIONS. Continued, 



3. MATERIAL CARD. 



DESCRIPTION. 



The face of the card is divided by horizontal rules into five 

 distinct sections, the names of which appear in the right-hand 

 margin. 



Title Section. 



This has a place for the date and for indicating by the proper 

 symbols the agents between whom the transaction reported has 

 taken place. Thus " Receipts and issues from Z to W to 4. to 

 fabrication " or " fab." would mean that the material had been 

 originally received from the outside world (Z) by the keeper of 

 warehouses (W), see page 91 ; had been issued by him to the 

 foreman of the loading-room (4), and had by him been finally 

 expended in manufacture (fab.) ; all these transactions being 

 immediately consecutive. 



On the next line is a place for the stock clerk to indicate the 

 vouchers and abstracts to which each transaction belongs. 



Material Section. 



This indicates distinctly the name, etc., of the material involved. 

 Full space is given for explanatory remarks as to dimensions, 

 quality, purpose, etc. 



The " class " space is for the use of the stock clerk. See page 44. 



The " condition " space is to indicate the serviceability of the 

 stores; when left blank they are supposed to be serviceable. 



On the left is a space for writing the quantity of the material 

 used. To mark the difference between quantities which are only 

 estimated or assumed and those which are actually dealt with,
