A textbook of filing
A textbook of filing by James Newton McCord, published in New York and London by D. Appleton and company in 1920, written as instruction for office workers and students learning records management. The pictures are line drawings of filing equipment: a geographic file of stacked guide cards, a multiple-drawer cabinet dated by year, and a card with alphabetical index tabs. A designer could take from them the stepped tab layouts and the orderly rows of labelled drawers as diagram-style imagery.
