TABLE 4:
General Section Summary

+B2 Bridges
+B3 Illusion
+B4 Prototypical and Miscellaneous Structures (Building Types)
+B5 Comparison slides
+B6 Projects and Project Drawings (Unbuilt Projects)
+C1 Painting (Fine Arts)
+C2 Sculpture (Fine Arts)
+C3 Minor Arts (Objects, Furniture, Clothing, etc)
+C4 Graphic Arts

TABLE 4:
GENERAL SECTION
Historical Architecture Collection
Second and Third Line Divisions
This table is for subjects in the General Section, which precedes each major stylistic period or chronological period. This section contains slides which usually do not pertain to any specific building or architect, but which describe the period, the time, the style. Slides in the General Section are denoted in the call number in two ways: the number 1 on the first line after the letter which designates the period, e.g. W1; the use of a plus sign, or +, at the beginning of the second line.
tT1 Renaissance
+B2 (GENERAL) Bridges
44VeR Rialto Bridge, Venice, Italy
The term, "GENERAL", is implied, and not shown on the slide labels. The particular division of the General Section appears in all caps at the top left of the label. This first element of the description may match the second line or the third line of the call number.
The following table is organized into two columns, one for the second lines, one for the third.
