The drawings are arranged in the archive in five series and are listed as such in the catalogue. 1. Main Series. These are organised by drawing number in numerical sequence. Most drawings have a two number date prefix that usually relates to the year in which the drawing was produced, but may sometimes relate to the year the drawing was entered in the register. 2. D Numerical series. These are also organised by drawing number, but prefixed by the section reference, such as D1, D2, D3, D4 or D5. 3. Diagrams and Sketches. These are also organised by drawing number, but prefixed according to the section reference code, such as DS, DD, S, D or ED. 4. BR Standard Drawings from Derby. These drawings are proper to the main collection of British Rail Standard Drawings, but were found with the main Derby Works sequences. They are numerical with the prefix SL/DE. 5. Crewe Works Drawings from Derby. These drawings are proper to the Crewe Works and were produced for use at Derby and therefore found with the main Derby sequence. They are numerical with the prefix C. The numbering system for the Main Series is that devised by Samuel Waite Johnson from 1874. He started the practice of numbering by a year prefix, plus a continuous numerical series beginning at 1. This system continued for the main drawings produced by Derby Drawing Office following absorption of the Midland Railway into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. It was replaced by new practices when the Derby Works was absorbed into a new structure under British Railways in 1947. There is evidence that some drawings were numbered retrospectively during the early decades, consequently there is not always a perfectly chronological sequence. An interpretation of the supporting series of drawings and their numbering system can be found in the addendum to this introduction in the list of abbreviations.
