LEADER WORK (See also Tabular Work; Abbreviations) Leader work is a simple form of tabular work without box heads or rules. In general, leader work (except indexes and tables of contents, which are set the same style as text) is governed by the same rules of style as tabular work. Columns. 212. A figure column is an en quad wider than the largest group of figures but not less than 2 ems. 213. If the last column is a reading column, leaders are run within an en quad of the first word. If the first column overruns, it is indented 1 em from the first word of the last column. Continued heads. 214. If leader work continues on a following page, the center heads and colon lines are continued. Ditto. 215. The abbreviation Do. is capitalized and preceded by quads in stub; it is capitalized and preceded and followed by quads in last reading column; it is lower-cased when used under a unit of quantity in stub. Dollar mark. 216. The dollar mark is used at the beginning of each statement, on the first line of double-up matter, at the head of a continued statement, and on the first line of each cut-in group. A dollar mark does not carry through leaders in leader work. (a) In a column containing mixed amounts (as money, tons, gallons) the figures are alined on the right, and the dollar mark or other symbol is repeated before each sum of money; but if several sums of money are grouped and added to make a total, they are separated from the preceding figures by a parallel dash, and the symbol is placed at the top of the group only. Flush items and subheads. 217. Flush items clear the figure column. Subheads are centered in full measure; if they extend to the figure column, the figure column and an equal space on the left are cleared. Footnotes. 218. Footnote references begin with 1 in each statement, and footnotes are placed at end of statement, separated from it by two leads. Separate notes from matter following by not less than 6 points. If the leader work runs over from one page to another, the appropriate footnotes are carried on each page, being repeated if necessary. If the footnotes to leader work and text fall at bottom of page, the footnotes to leader work are placed above footnotes to the text, the two groups separated by a 50-point rule flush on the left. Units of quantity. 219. Units of quantity or other words centered over a stub or figure column are set in 6-point italic, separated from leader work by 2 points. The examples below show the style to be observed where there is a short colon line at left. In case of only one subentry, run in with colon line and preserve the colon. Baltimore & Ohio R. R.: May Pennsylvania R. R.: Freight carried Jan. 1, 1935. 1 Livestock not included in total. If there is no colon line: Freight carried by the Pennsylvania R. R. and the Baltimore & Ohio Miscellaneous examples. 220. The following are typical examples of leader work:1 Explanatory matter set in 6-point under leaders (note omission of period): Name Address Position Half measure doubled up (units of quantity are alined across the Mixed units of quantity and amounts and words in figure column: Height at shoulder (top of third dorsal), Brontops robus- Width of atlas, Diploclonus tyleri_ _mm__ 12, 311 320 1 Estimated. 1 This shows the relative positions of footnotes for text and leader work. DATE LINES, ADDRESSES, AND SIGNATURES The general principle involved in the typography of date lines, addresses, and signatures is that they should be so set as to stand out clearly from the body of the letter or paper which they accompany. This is accomplished by using caps and small caps and italic, as set forth below. Other typographic details are designed to insure uniformity and good appearance. Certain general instructions apply alike to date lines, addresses, and signatures. General instructions. 221. Principal words in date lines, addresses, and titles accompanying signatures are capitalized. 222. Mr., Mrs., and all other titles preceding a name, and Esq., Jr., and Sr. following a name in address and signature lines are set in caps and lower-case roman if the name is in caps and lower-case or caps and small caps; if the name is in all caps they are set in caps and small caps, if small caps are available—otherwise in caps and lower case. 223. Lines set in caps, small caps, or caps and small caps are spaced with en quads. 224. An extra lead is used, unless space is clear, between date line and text or address, address and text, text and signature, and signature and address. Date lines. 225. Date lines at the beginning of a letter or paper are set at the right side of the page, the originating office in caps and small caps, the place name and date in italic; if the originating office is not given, the place name is set in caps and small caps and the date in italic; if only the date is given, it is set in caps and small caps. Such date lines are indented from the right 1 em for a single line, 3 ems and 1 em successively for two lines, or 5 ems, 3 ems, and 1 em successively for three lines. In wider than document measure these indentions are increased by 1 em. THE WHITE HOUSE, July 30, 1935. □ THE WHITE HOUSE, ☐☐☐ Washington, D.
