Notes

This plan is drawn to the same scale, and covers the same floor levels, as two of the plans shown on SM 37/2/29, but here the separate offices are labelled and their dimensions records. Given this correlation, it would appear that this drawing was copied from the same survey drawings then in the Office of Works' own holdings.
