Scope
1.1
The propose of this document is to develop a
universal method of locating a specific area on any
flat surface.
1.2
A method of dividing any size surface into individual
areas which may be divided again and again until an
area of the desired size is obtained.
1.3
A method of accurately recording the location
of any desired area on any flat surface.
1.4
A method of establishing size and
location on any surface that can be easily and
accurately established,
located, recorded and communicated.

Terminology
2.1
Reference-Matboard & Glazing Standard Terminology,

2.2
Terminology Format-The following words are defined
to clarify the importance of sections or formats, and
to identify those that are mandatory.
"Shall"-is
used to indicate that a provision is mandatory.

used to indicate that a provision is not mandatory,
but recommended as good practice.
"May"-is
used to indicate that a provision is optional.
3.0
Summery of Practice
3.1
The need for accurately identifying specific
areas on a surface.
3.2
The areas must be easy to locate and to relocate
with accuracy.
3.3
The method must be easy to record and communicate.
4.0
Method of Use
4.1
A surface shall be divided into nine equal areas.
3 across and 3 down representing a common telephone
dialing pad, nine equally divided areas.
4.2
Each of the equally divided nine areas shall
represent the common telephone key pad.
4.2.1 The horizontal dimension of the surface shall be divided
equally into 3 areas (A,B,C)
4.2.2
The vertical dimension of the surface shall be
divided equally into 3 areas (A,B,C)
4.3
Each divided area shall be numbered starting
with the number one in the upper left corner, reading
across from left to right and from top to bottom ending
with the number nine in the lower right corner.
4.4
This method produces a single digit numbers that
accurately references a divided one ninth area of the
total surface.
4.5
Using this method any area may be quickly and
accurately referenced, communicated and relocated using
a single number.
4.6
To further reduce an divided area it may be again
divided using the same method.
4.7
With a second division any area may be quickly
and accurately referenced, communicated and located
by using its double digit number.
4.7.1
This method of location allows for unlimited
reduction of any area for easy and accurate reference,
relocation and communication.
4.9
Each progressive division is accurately recorded
by the addition of a single digit number.
4.10
Seldom will an area need to be divided more than
three times. The reference number for this location
would be 1 9 5 indicated by the X.
4.11
Any area once divided is easily referenced by it number
1,9 and easily referenced by a single digit number.
4.12
By dividing any of the areas 1-9
the reference area is again reduced to 9 areas
and may be easily referenced by a two digit number.
4.13
A third division of a twice-divided area may
be easily referenced by a three-digit number.
5.0
Conclusion
5.1
A once divided surface area of 1000 square inches/mm
is reduced to an area of
1,1,1 square inches/mm and is referenced by a
single digit number.
1
5.2
The second division reduces that area to 12.3
square inches/mm) and is referenced by a two digit number.
1,2
5.3
A third division reduces the area to 1.3 square
inches/ and is referenced by a triple digit number.
1,2,3
5.0
Responsibility for Quality
5.1
Quality is determined by accuracy of recording
the location, dividing the area and communication that
information.
