Notes
The two full size details show alternative ways of affixing the panels to the vertical stiles of the door. In the first design (which is crossed out) at the top of the sheet, the panel has a large, central tongue and is supported by a brace across the back of the door. In the alternative design, below, the panel has two smaller tongues which slot into the stile, and the brace runs internally through the stile and panel. The signature with date at the bottom of the page suggests that this design met with Soane's approval.
