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.
