B ROUTING

1. goes up in one's own org and across and down again to the same post as own in the other org. Dispatches so routed are clearly marked at the top B Routing with a full list of vias, written on it by the sender. Each via initials and forwards or stops it, says exactly why and returns it to sender. (HCO PL 13 Mar 65 II) 2. by channels. (HCO PL 1 May 65)

the form of routing which goes via channels. With this routing, the communication is sent via your seniors and then over and down through the seniors of the terminal the comm is intended for. For example, if the Dissemination Secretary (head of Division 2) were to use B routing to send a comm to the Director of Communication (head of Department 2, Division 1), the routing on the comm would be via the HCO Executive Secretary (his senior) to the HCO Area Secretary (head of Division 1, and the Director of Communication's senior) to the Director of Communication. The other forms of routing are A, C and D routing. "A routing" goes directly across from your own post to the same post in another org—no other vias are added. "C routing" goes up the channels in your own org (and doesn't go outside the org unless one's org seniors s o reroute it). "D routing" goes inside your own org directly to anyone else in the org. —Staff Status II Glossary, Approved late Sept. 1990
