Linens (original tracings), metric series

Description

Unique IDAS-0508Start date1st January 1975Start date qualifierexactFormatPlanDescriptionThis series consists of original master engineering and survey drawings executed on linen cloth. These drawings are known in the Department as "tracings" or "linens". On completion the linen is copied. This paper copy is called the "office copy" and is used to record alterations, file references, comments/annotations and approval stamps or signatures. The linen drawing remains as originally executed.

Often the linen is copied and the copies are used to record different engineering or survey work.

The linens are arranged into sizes: A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, A0 and are assigned a consecutive number within each size range. This number is recorded on either bottom corner of the plan.

The drawings vary in subject matter and include resumptions, traffic arrangements, acquisitions, naming, sale, purchase etc. Access to this series is facilitated by the Index to Tracings catalogue in the City Engineer's Department plan room. The index is arranged alphabetically by street name.
