1 88 PROPOSED SYSTEM. 



CASE 3. Procuring Material to be expended on Arrival. 



Should the foreman wish to expend the stores immediately 

 on their arrival, he follows precisely the same course, but in 

 addition punches " issued." The stock clerk then makes two 

 entries in the current service column of the journal. One having a 

 numbered and the other a lettered abstract title, they balance and 

 record the transaction. See pages 45, 244. 



As the card itself is the only voucher for abstract 5, no voucher 

 number is given in the title section under the designation of this 

 abstract; the serial number which the card receives from the 

 stock clerk (page 248) is sufficient. 



The foreman having asked for the lumber in lineal feet, his 

 requisition is corrected by the stock clerk to agree with the 

 established nomenclature and unit of measurement. This is only 

 given as an illustration ; it is not supposed that the stock clerk 

 will have to correct every departure from the official nomenclat- 

 ure, nor to supply on every card the designation of the class.
