SKINNIDER, MARGARET. Doing my bit for Ireland. il *$1 Century
941.5 17-16337
A spirited, frankly partizan account of the Dublin insurrection of
1916, by a school-teacher who took an active part in the rising,
was wounded, but escaped imprisonment, and came, some
months later, to America. An appendix of nearly fifty pages gives
the street songs in vogue in Dublin at the time of the insurrection.
A L A Bkl 14:21 O ‘17
“One of the chief virtues of Miss Skinnider’s simple recital is that it
makes the Irish revolutionists live for us, especially their executed
leaders, so that the Irish question presents itself as an essentially
human problem, and the rights of small nations changes from a
battle cry to a demand for constructive thought.”

SLADEN, DOUGLAS BROOKE WHEELTON. Douglas romance.

“An historical novel of the present day, ‘The Douglas romance,’
derives its fantastic plot and its kaleidoscopic multitude of cleverly
presented characters, men and women of unusual and interesting
types, from those still fertile fields of romance, the theatrical world
and the European war. It tells of the fortunes of the last heirs of
the Scottish earldom of Douglas, the ultramodern descendants of
the Black Douglas of ballad fame. ... The war is presented through
the points of view of the heroine’s two lovers; one a hero of the
trenches, the other the leader of a spectacular attack on a German
stronghold. The vivid picture of London in war-time is not the least
interesting part of the story.”—Boston Transcript
“Many aspects of theatrical life are shown, perhaps an
unnecessary number of unpleasant ones. However, here as

pseud.). In the war; memoirs; tr. by Leo Wiener. (Slavic
translations) *$2 (1c) Kennerley 947 17-12165
An account of the Russo-Japanese war by a Russian surgeon who
accompanied the troops. The narrative opens with the
announcement of war, and is carried on in the following chapters:
On the way; In Mukden; The battle of Sha-ho; The great stand:
October to November; The great stand: December to February;
The Mukden engagement; On the Mandarin road; Wandering; In
expectation of peace; Peace; Home again. The translator
associates the author’s name with that of Vereshchágin as a
depicter of the grimness of warfare, calling the book, “the most
complete analysis of the ingloriousness of war yet obtained.”
“It is a revolting picture from first to last, with such a morbid
insistence upon the known cruelties and the heedlessness to
human suffering that one feels compelled to doubt, at times, the
motive of the author. ... The judicious reader will reserve the right
to question not only the author’s motive in some of the cases but
also the truth of some of the happenings to which he gives
credence.”

SMITH, FRANK WEBSTER. High school; with an introd. by J:
Calvin Hanna. *$2 Sturgis & Walton 370.9 17-287
Believing that the high school is “the determining factor in
American school life,” Mr Smith attempts to study the origins and
tendencies of secondary education. “In the superintendence of
public schools, in teaching and supervision in high school and
academy, in the training of high school teachers in normal school
and university department of education, and in supervision of and
participation in the training of high school graduates for teaching
in elementary schools, he has had opportunity to observe the work
of the high school from various angles.” (Author’s preface) The first
292 pages cover the period from primitive times to the nineteenth
century, including a chapter on “Jesus, teacher—new principles of
education.” Two chapters are then given to the high school in the
nineteenth century, one to the development of secondary
education in the United States, and one to a review of the
evolution of secondary education from different view points. The
last three chapters treat of the high school of the twentieth
century. A graphic summary is inserted just before the nine-page
bibliography.
“The relation between the educational institution and the economic
and social conditions is emphasized consistently, and there is
brought together a wealth of illustrative material.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/81241-250308130710-d075e5d4/85/Metric-handbook-planning-and-design-data-4th-ed-Edition-David-Littlefield-45-320.jpg)

- 13. Preface This is the fourth edition of the Metric Handbook. Between 1979 and 2008 this book had been revised just twice; but the speed of change within architecture and the built environment (including technological, procedural and legislative shifts) has caused the publisher to offer less of a Bible of immutable codes and more of a resource which aims to capture the standards and requirements of a profession at a particular point of time. This edition is a consid- erable update of the book issued in 2008 – more than 50% of the book is updated and new chapters have been introduced covering, for example, security and the design of fire stations. Other chapters, such as drawing notation, masterplanning and structure, have been considerably rewritten and updated. It is a gargantuan task – one which relies on the contributions of a wide range of specialists who must reach a judgement between the essentials of a given subject area and technical data that is so specific that this book can have no room for it. Despite the size and title of this large book, the Metric Handbook cannot seek to be the last word in building design and assembly. Rather, it should be con- sidered a starting point, a collection of rules, codes, principles and conventions which largely govern how building types are tackled. Drawing on both good practice and the regulatory codebook, this book gives the reader a headstart when entering new design terri- tory, outlining the factors through which they can frame a design response. Matters such as sizes, volumes, adjacencies, precedents, materials, tolerances, standards and expectations are covered here. Thus if one needs to know the dimensions of a badminton court, standards in lighting and acoustic performance, or the procedures for diagnostic imaging within a large hospital, you can expect to find the answer within these pages. We have also retained the CI/ FsB product classification codes and library search codes at the start of many chapters, in order that readers can obtain further informa- tion through online links. However, the Metric Handbook does not pretend to offer a com- plete solution for every building. It does not (cannot) cover aes- thetics and design language; nor can it offer a substitute for the sensitive response by an architect to a specific brief from a specific client for a specific site. Therein lies the judgement, intelligence and training of the professional. Nonetheless, this book is designed to assist the architect in their deliberations, offering them a way into new fields or supplying the language from which a meaningful conversation can be had. Finally, the sharp-eyed reader might notice a small change on the cover, apart from the edition number. This book is now published by Routledge, an imprint of Taylor & Francis. Purchased from Elsevier in 2011, the Metric Handbook is in very good hands, and I wish the new publisher and all readers every success with it.

Many thanks are due to the five practices who formed an editorial board and helped with the review of chapters from the third edition: Aecom, Aedas, Gensler, HOK and 3DReid. In particular, I would like to thank Alan Robertson and his team from Aedas, who helped not only with the review of chapters but also in the revision of many of them. Thanks too to the various (incredibly supportive) commis- sioning editors who have worked on this book at its different stages: Hannah Shakespeare, Liz Burton and Fran Ford. Finally, many thanks to all the contributors to this book – some of whom have worked on the book before, while others are new to it. The Metric Handbook is certainly not a one-person project, and the small army of writers, reviewers, administrators and organisers who make it possible should not be underestimated. We dedicate this book to Maurice Walton, who helped to revise the chapter on religious buildings, and who died on Christmas Day 2011.

Though some firms continue to use traditional manual drafting techniques many have adopted 2D CAD systems and an increasing number have progressed onto 3D paramet- ric object-based design systems and Building Information Modelling. Whichever of these methods is selected, the adoption of standards is important for clarity in communication between the members of the designteam.Thissectionsummarisesstandardsastheyrelatetovisual output whether that be on paper or screen display. 1.2 Traditional drafting Intraditionaldrafting,paperisthemaininformationexchangemech- anism. Though individual drawing styles can be accommodated, it is only by the inclusion of standard drawing conventions and symbols that the content can be correctly interpreted. 1.3 2D CAD systems 2D CAD tools provide easier ways of editing and copying draw- ing content. Information sharing can be achieved by the transfer of drawing files and this has led to improved levels of collaboration between members of the design team. In some cases the data transfer is supported by a web-based collaboration services. For this data exchange to be effective, standards have been introduced for file naming conventions, drawing layering structures. When different CAD systems are employed, translation processes are also needed to overcome any system incompatibilities. The AEC (UK) CAD Standards Initiative was formed in 2000 to improve the process of design information production, manage- ment and data exchange. The initiative addressed CAD layering conventions as the primary concern for users of design data. As design needs and technology has developed, the scope has expanded to cover other aspects of design data production and information exchange. The AEC (UK) CAD Standard Basic Layer Code was released in 2001, with an Advanced Code released in 2002. 1.4 3D parametric object based systems The introduction of 3D parametric object-based modelling systems offers further advantages in terms of the automatic co-ordination of 3D views, plans, sections, elevations and component schedules, the ability to carry out clash detection plus structural and environmental analysis. 1.5 BIM Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves more than the adoption of a 2D CAD or 3D object based tool. It is founded on the development of a Common Data Environment for sharing information between the members of the design, manufacturing and construction teams. The technicalities involved are set out in BS 29481-1:2010 Building information modelling. Information deliverymanual–methodologyandformat.Typicallymanydifferent software applications will access and interrogate the common data set to generate information that is appropriate for a specific purpose. Ultimately the aim is for a fully integrated set of data incorporating 4D (construction timing) and 5D (costing) elements plus any other data necessary for the life-cycle management of the facility. These features are becoming increasingly important as a part of the drive for Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). With the increased use of computer methods for electronic trans- fer and the combining of models from different members of the design team, the use of common standards is essential. For BIM much of the work on standards, originated with organisations such as BuildingSmart who have developed and promoted the adoption of Industry Foundation Class (IFC). This open system is designed to enable interoperability between different proprietary systems. It is registered as the international standard ISO 16739. The AEC (UK) BIM Standards builds on the guidelines defined by world-wide standards initiatives, including BS1192:2007, the US National BIM Standard (NBIMS) and existing, proven internal company procedures. It is aimed at providing a base starting point for a unified BIM standard that can easily be adopted ‘as is’ or developed and adapted for implementation within projects that have specific requirements for the structuring of their BIM data. In 2011 the UK government published its Building Information Modelling (BIM) Working Party Strategy and announced the intention to require collaborative 3D BIM (with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic) on its projects by 2016. The standard recommended for non- graphical information is COBie: Construction Operations Building information exchange. This was developed by a number of US public agencies to improve the handover process to building owner- operators. A growing number of software packages now support the import and export of data in this format. 2 METRIC ANNOTATATION 2.1 Units The main units should be used as shown in Table I. SW_440_Ch 1.indd 1 SW_440_Ch 1.indd 1 2/10/2012 1:42:34 PM 2/10/2012 1:42:34 PM
- 18. 1-2 Design information and dimensional coordination On a drawing, either metres or millimetres should be used: these units should not be mixed. If this rule is followed, ambiguity is avoided – it is not possible to confuse which units are intended. Common practice is to use mm without a decimal, so 2 m is shown simply as 2000. 2.2 Decimal marker The decimal marker (full stop) on the baseline is the standard deci- mal point in the UK; but the marker at the halfway position is also acceptable. It should be noted that Continental practice is to use the comma on the baseline. The appropriate number of decimal places should be chosen depending on the circumstances in which the resulting value is to be used. 2.3 Thousand marker To avoid confusion with the Continental decimal marker, no thou- sand marker should be used. Where legibility needs to be improved a space can be left in large groups of digits at every thousand point. Where there are only four digits, a space between the first digit and the others is not desirable (e.g. 15000, 1500). (However, the comma is used in currency, e.g. £115,000.) 2.4 Notation As a rule the sizes of components should be expressed in consistent and not mixed units, e.g. 1500 mm × 600 mm × 25 mm thick and not 1.5 m × 600 mm × 25 mm thick. However, for long thin components such as timbers, it is preferable to mix the units, e.g. 100 mm × 75 mm × 10 m long. It is important to distinguish clearly between the metric tonne and the imperial ton. The tonne is equivalent to 2204.6 lb while the ton is equal to 2240 lb – a difference of 1.6 per cent. The interval of temperature should be referred to as degree Celsius (°C) and not as centigrade. The word centigrade is used by the Continental metric countries as a measure of plane angle and equals 1/10000th part of a right angle. 3 DRAWINGS 3.1 Information required The following table indicates the typical drawings required during the design phases of a project. The work stage summary is taken from the RIBA Outline Plan of Work 2007 (amended November 2008). This organises the process of managing and designing projects into a number of key work stages. The sequence or content of these stages may vary and/or overlap dependent on the procurement method selected – and the RIBA Outline Plan of Work provides guidance on their applicability to the principal procurement routes.

Design information and dimensional coordination 1-3 3.2 Graphic techniques Graphic techniques should follow the recommendations in BS EN ISO 9431, and in particular: (a) line thickness should be not less than 0.25 mm on drawings to be reproduced without reduction, or to be microfilmed; (b) if different line thicknesses are used, each thickness should be at least twice the next thinner line; (c) the space between lines should be not less than 0.7 mm; (d) inclined lines should be at an angle of 15° or a multiple of 15°; (e) lettering (including numbers) should have a capital height of: (1) not less than 2.5 mm for drawings as in (a) above; (2) not less than 3.5 mm for drawings as in (b) above. While these guidelines originally refer to manual drafting the same principles should ensure clarity when applied to plotted output from 2D CAD and 3D modelling systems. 3.3 Drawing scales The internationally agreed and recommended range of scales for use in the construction industry is given in Table II. Where two or more scales are used on the same sheet, these should be clearly indicated. 3.4 Traditional types of drawings Types of drawings at the most suitable scales are shown in 1.1 to 1.7. Note that in 1.5 and 1.6 alternative dimensional units are shown for comparison. The method of expressing dimensions as shown in the shaded drawings is not recommended. 2D CAD systems provide the capability for creating similar output but with the advantage of being able to edit, copy and rescale portions of the drawing set. 3.5 Drawings from 3D systems and BIM Similar 2D building plans, sections, and elevations can be created using a 3D modelling system. Being derived from a single model these have the added benefit of being automatically coordinated. The scale, location and cut planes of any particular view can be adjusted dynamically making the production of a drawing set extremely flex- ible. Of course, not everything needs to be modelled in 3D and it Table III Preferred scales Use Scale Maps 1:1000000 1:500000 1:200000 1:100000 Town surveys 1:50000 1:20000 1:10000 1:5000 1:2500 1:2000 1:1250 1:1000 Location drawings Site plan 1:500 1:200 General location 1:200 1:100 1:50 Ranges 1:100 1:50 1:20 Component drawings Assembly 1:20 1:10 1:5 Details 1:10 1:5 1:1 Table II RIBA work stages – outline plan of work (design phase) Work stage Information required Typical drawings C: Concept design Prepare concept design, including outline Drawings will typically illustrate the outline proposals for each building element.

Using callouts, these can be cross-referenced to their location on the model. Overall this approach simplifies management of the drawing set helping to ensure it that the information provided remains consistent.

Design information and dimensional coordination 1-5 4 DRAWING CONTENT 4.1 Standard elements In manual drafting, repeated standard elements and symbols are often introduced in the form of printed transfers. In 2D CAD, blocks are used for this purpose and can be scaled. With 3D CAD, paramet- ric objects are employed for almost all of the drawing content and can be created to automatically generate different representations of elements and components that show a level of detail relevant to the chosen scale of a view. BS 8541-2 provides guidance and recommendations for 2D symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the construction industry. The symbols covered by this BS are restricted to the architectural and land registry symbols as the base for architecture drawing, modelling and planning activities. The more specific symbols for mechanical, electrical and plumbing along with the structural steel sections and welding are deferred to those institutes that have a greater understanding of the needs of their members in a fast changing world. BSRIA has a large symbol library for the MEP and Building Services engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) covers both electronic and electrical symbols. The BS stresses that: The amount of detail in a simplified representation should be limited to the essential attributes of the object A geometric shape should not be used if its meaning is not determined by context and experience. Over-complexity of building elements components and symbols should be avoided by one of the following methods: (a) omitting unnecessary information (for example, if all the items in a project are of the same type); (b) annotating differences between one item and another; (c) referring differences to a schedule or other document. 4.2 Conventions BS 1153 specifies certain traditional symbols for use on drawings. A selection of these are shown in 1.8. 1.5 Assembly detail drawing (shaded version not recommended) 1.6 Full size detail (shaded version not recommended) SW_440_Ch 1.indd 5 SW_440_Ch 1.indd 5 2/10/2012 1:42:37 PM 2/10/2012 1:42:37 PM

- 24. 1-8 Design information and dimensional coordination 4.6 Graded components With 3D modelling systems it is possible to replace an object with another showing more detail as the design progresses. To facilitate this, the AEC BIM Standards recommend that all components cre- ated, or otherwise obtained should be graded, named and stored accordingly in the project structure as follows: Component Grade 1 – Concept • Simple place-holder with absolute minimum level detail to be identifiable, e.g. as any type of chair. • Superficial dimensional representation. • Generic in terms of manufacturer information and technical data. Component Grade 2 – Defined • Contains all relevant meta-data and technical information, and is sufficiently modelled to identify type of chair and component materials. • Typically contains level of 2D detail suitable for the ‘Preferred’ scale. • Sufficient for most projects. Component Grade 3 – Rendered • Identical to the Grade 2 version if scheduled or interrogated by annotation. Differs only in 3D representation. • Used only when a 3D view at a sufficient scale deems the detail necessary due to the objects proximity to the camera. In addition to the grading, a component may make use of Low, Medium and High levels of detail to control its graphical representation in relation to the chosen scale as indicated in 4.3. 5 DIMENSIONAL COORDINATION 5.1 Current building practice involves the assembly of many factory- made components: in some cases the whole project consists of such components slotted together like a child’s construction kit. Dimensional coordination (DC) is essential to ensure the success of the system, and consists of a range of dimensions relating to the sizing of building components and assemblies, and to the build- ings incorporating them. DC enables the coordination of the many parts that go to make up the total construction which are supplied from widely separated sources. At an international level, 100 mm is accepted as the basic module (often referred to by the letter ‘M’). Dimensional coordination relies on establishment of rectangular three-dimensional grids of basic modules into which components can be introduced in an interrelated pattern of sizes, 1.9. The modu- lar grid network delineates the space into which each component fits. The most important factor of dimensional coordination is that the component must always be undersized in relation to the space grid into which it has to fit (but not to too great an extent). In the engineering world the piston and cylinder principle estab- lishes the size relationship between dimensional space grid and component, 1.10. The size of the cylinder must allow for the right degree of accuracy and tolerance to enable the piston to move up and down. 1.9 Three-dimensional grid of basic modules 1.10 The piston and cylinder principle SW_440_Ch 1.indd 8 SW_440_Ch 1.indd 8 2/10/2012 1:42:39 PM 2/10/2012 1:42:39 PM
- 25. Design information and dimensional coordination 1-9 The degree of inaccuracy to be allowed for in the building proc- ess is related to the economics of jointing. Adequate space must be allowed for size of component plus joint. Transgressing the rules of locating components within the allotted space contained by grid lines will cause considerable difficulty in site assembly. The basic arrangement of components within the grid layout shows them fitting into the spaces allocated to them: dimensionally they are coordinated, thus allowing the designer maximum use of standard components, 1.11. Advantages to designers may include: • Reduction in design labour • Reduced production of working drawings by the use of standard details • Choice of interrelated standard components at the various price levels. 5.2 Basic aims of DC The basic aims of DC (as defined in BS 4011:1966) were: • To obtain maximum economy in the production of components • To reduce the manufacture of non-standard units • To avoid wasteful cutting on-site. Potential advantages to manufacturers include: • More effective use of labour in producing standard lines • Reduction in the stocking, invoicing and other operations con- nected with numerous differently sized products. There should also be advantages to contractors, not only through better design of components for fit but also through increasing familiarity with standard components. BS 4011 was superseded by BS 6750:1986. 5.3 Basic elements of DC Preference for size The preferred increments are: • First preference (multimodule) multiples of 300 mm • Second preference (basic module) multiples of 100 mm • Third preference (submodule) multiples of 50 mm up to 300 mm • Fourth preference (submodule) multiples of 25 mm up to 300 mm. Reference systems Grid and line: the DC reference system identifies controlling dimen- sions by the use of a grid on plans and a series of horizontal lines on elevations and sections. The terminology is precise: • Controlling dimensions lie between key reference planes (e.g. floor-to-floor height). They provide a framework within which to design and to which components and assemblies may be related. • Key reference planes define the boundaries of controlling zones or structural axes. • Controlling lines on a drawing represent a key reference plane. • Axial controlling lines are shown on drawings by a chain dotted line with a circle at the end, in which the grid reference is given. • Face controlling lines are shown by a continuous line with a circle at the end in which the grid reference is given. • Zones between vertical or horizontal reference planes provide spaces for one or more components which do not necessarily fill the space. Provided that use of associated components is not inhibited, a building component (or group of components) may extend beyond the zone boundary, as may trims and finishes. 5.4 Drawings The representation of the dimensional coordination framework should be consistent on all drawings. On general location drawings a grid representing 300 mm (or a multiple of 300 mm) may be used. Assembly details may use grids of 300 or 100 mm. Reference lines Reference lines or grids should be thin, to distinguish them from other, particularly constructional, lines. Dimension lines Different types of dimensions should be distinguished by the type of arrowhead, 1.12. Running dimensions should be set off from a datum, 1.13. Assembly details Assembly details should show components in their context, that is, in relation to the adjoining element, with details of the joint. 5.5 Locating components by grid Types of grid The structural grid of axial controlling lines, 1.14, is established physically by the contractor on-site; it serves as the main reference 1.11 Fitting a component into a dimensionally coordinated grid 1.12 Coordinating and work sizes 1.13 Running dimensions. The symbol at the datum should be as shown. An arrowhead is sometimes used, but is not the preferred alternative SW_440_Ch 1.indd 9 SW_440_Ch 1.indd 9 2/10/2012 1:42:39 PM 2/10/2012 1:42:39 PM

The last three chapters treat of the high school of the twentieth century. A graphic summary is inserted just before the nine-page bibliography. “The relation between the educational institution and the economic and social conditions is emphasized consistently, and there is brought together a wealth of illustrative material.”
