Notes
The bar scale relates to the preliminary design for a large building, around which the sections through the north range are drawn. The sections appear to be preliminary sketches, for those given on SM 37/3/8, and indicated by section lines given in SM 37/3/5 and SM 37/3/6. The ground plan with dimensions cannot be identified with certainty as relating to the Law Courts. The faint sketch of a flying buttress can be identified as one of those at Westminster Hall.
