The detail of a capping with roundel was drawn by Dance. The unfinished, indeed hardly begun, layout plan for a lead water pipe in a area around the office was also drawn by Dance. He joined two sheets together to make the drainage plan, using the verso of his full-sze capping detail. He then used the side of the joined drawing sheets with the drainage plan to make an unfinished drawing for a semi-circular arch that Carter labelled 'Opening of Center Arch' as well as adding some details.
