We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Letters and memorandums should be routed from one department to another and properly initialed, indicating that the various points brought up have been attended to. Two systems may be used. One giving each employee a number and having each letter marked in the upper right hand corner with the number of the person who is to read it. The letter will then be passed from one party to another each initialing it after his number, when he has properly attended to it. When all parties have seen the letter it should be filed. The other system is to have a rubber stamp prepared naming various departments, e.g., Manager, Exploitation, Bookkeeping, Cashier, Booker, Shipper, Poster Clerk, Chief Inspector. The parties who are to read the letter will then be checked and same will pass from one to another as indicated above. All mail should either be opened by the Manager or referred to him so that he may note upon each letter the department to which it is to be sent. PRINTS Form "L" 167. This is a weekly summary of all prints received, transferred, or destroyed. 1. In the first three columns, production number, date, name of productions are inserted. 2. In the "Received" column, you report the number of prints of each feature received during the week. 3. In the "Transferred" column, you enter the number of prints of all features transferred from the branch. 4. In the "Destroyed" column, you report the number of prints of any feature destroyed. 5. In the "Remarks" column, you report from whom you received prints, e.g., Laboratory, other branch, (giving its name) etc., or to whom transferred or by whom destroyed. 6. It should be noted that showing a print in the "Destroyed" column is not considered sufficient. It must be followed up by a letter giving full details, also stating the steps taken by you to secure settlement. —43—
