I’ve come to end of my scanning work with a drawer full of drawings marked “various”. I was told to name the drawings based on there content. Easy enough for drawings like demolition plans, planting plans, process outlines and primitive dies, but what about the drawing of smoke stacks, exhaust towers, and cooling pipes coming out of the top of a reactor that I found after having named stuff for 10 hours? “Tall things”. I pray nightly that no one ever needs to find the a drawing for that vertical heating column.

Drawing Accords
The drawings I’ve been scanning have gotten successively larger and more unwieldy to the point where I think I’m scanning life size drawings of art deco skyscrapers. Put in top, start feed, get coffee, drink coffee, get more coffee, pee, answer questions about the large hadron collider and return to catch the tail end entering the scanner.
Everyone’s been really polite about how profoundly boring the job is and the person responsible for most of them asked what he could do to make this easier in the future. My reply: make nothing that can’t fit inside a pack of cigarettes.
