Pattern index

Roughly by structure type and location.

This series consists of index cards created by the Division of Canals and Waterways and its predecessor agencies to itemize and index individual machinery patterns for canal operation. The series is arranged by location and structure type (e.g. Lift Bridge No. 4, Adams Basin). Within these divisions, cards are arranged by individual patterns; patterns typically encompass a broad range of objects, from complete bridges to individual bushings and washers. Information on the cards usually includes pattern mark number, name of structure, part, manufacturer of part, state contract number (Barge Canal contract number), state sheet number, and storage locations for the patterns at Dept. of Public Works facilities in Waterford and Syracuse.

The cards can be used in conjunction with series B1765, New York State Barge Canal System Shop Drawings, to identify specific patterns: state contract number and state sheet number correspond to individual shop drawings and pattern mark number can be used to identify the patterns on the shop drawings.

This series indexes portions of series B1765, New York State Barge Canal System Shop Drawings.
