[1752]
This is the un-numbered sheet of sections accompanying the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/45a (copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/45b), which details the progress of the building work at Fort George, Ardersier, by 1752. This sheet does not have an identifying number like the other four sections, but it shows sections through lines 9.10, 11.12 and 13.14. Although unsigned, the draughtsman was probably Charles Tarrant, as he did the other four sheets of sections that accompany the plan. There is a copy of this sheet at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/45d. There are four other original sheets of sections of which "No. 2" is at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/47b, "No. 3" at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/47a, "No. 4" shelfmark at MS.1646.Z.02/46b and "No. 5" at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/46a.
