content: Design studies on board are arranged in three groups. Studies numbered according to the "List of Numbered Contracts" from Series 5: Project Files, form the bulk of the material. A second group of studies is arranged according to a set of numbers for which no list or other cross-reference tool appears to exist. The third set of unnumbered studies is arranged at the end of the series. Some of the unnumbered studies have other identifying information indicating the location for which the design was created but they have not been arranged according to location.
