This drawing shows the millwork details for half of the registration desk in the lobby. We have a drawing here which when we zoom in we can see that there's detail 7 on A201. So I'm going to zoom back a little bit.
So detail 7 A201 referencing this image up here. So this is one half of the desk. The other half of the desk is presented on sheet 201.1. The sheet is organized with details 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, 9,10,11,12,13,14, and 15.
When we look at detail 7, you can see that there are section cuts through the desk at image 2, image 3, and image 4. If we pan over, we can see 2,3, and 4. The overall dimensions are presented. So the top of the finished surface is 3 feet 6 inches. We have the counter height at 2 feet 10 inches. There are dimensions for the face of the drawers, dimensions for the base.
There are zoom-in references to details 10 and 15, and there's a kick plate on the front. Similar information is provided on image 3, again referencing the details. You can see this is a pull-out tray for the printer, and the printer is not included in the contract, and then we have drawings of some drawers.
So detail 7 is showing the top view. Detail 8 is showing what's happening below the stone transaction ledge. Again, references to the section.

We have the front elevation, and we have the back elevation. These section cuts here are showing where sections 8 and 9 are cut through the model. Detail 8 is cut above the transaction table.
Detail 9 is cut through the drawers. There's an axonometric presentation over here on the left of the front, a view on the left, and then the details. I always find these drawings interesting and fascinating.
I hope you do too. So let's go on to our next drawing.
