I think he's referring to the Bruce Beveridge blueprints on this site (Titanic Deckplans)
Does anybody know why the legend isn't on the digital version?

I would guess
DT = Dressing Table/Drawing Table
W = Wardrobe
H is probably heater
O is probably not a letter, but a graphical depiction of a wash basin.
I don't know what FL means, but I'm pretty sure here's a picture of one: Titanic - 2nd Class Two Berth Stateroom on the back wall.

Can anyone supply a COMPLETE list of all of the abbreviations used on Bruce Beveridges deckplans and not just an incomplete listing. Much appreciated if you can.

As this thread exists, may I ask another question?
In this image, can anyone tell me what the letters Q, M and K refer to? We're looking at E-Deck. The letter B also appears towards the bow, which seems to indicate a numbering system running from forward to aft. They don't appear to match the bulkheads, which ran from A to P (so no 'Q').
Thanks.

Those are sections of the Third Class accommodation. In First and Second class the staterooms were given a deck letter and number, for example C 16 would be on the on the port side of C Deck. In Third Class the cabins were simply numbered from 1 to 221 or so, but the sections of the ship were given letter designations. Section "A" was the 3rd Class Open Space on D Deck. Section "B" was immediately beneath A on E Deck. C was below B and D was below C on G Deck. Then came section E on F Deck; section F was on G Deck, and then G on E Deck.
It worked something like this:
Aft Forward
D Deck: O x x x x x x A
E Deck: Q M K x x x x B
F Deck: R x x J H G E C
G Deck: S N x x x x F D
Ignore the x's, I had to put them in so the table would align properly. A, J and H were public spaces, not staterooms, and there was no I. I'm not sure about L and P, they may have been reserved for 2nd class spaces that could be used as 3rd class if needed.
Does this help? I know it's a little confusing but that's how they designated Third Class spaces on Titanic.

WC = Wash Closet
DC Heater = Direct Contact Heater (Found in engine room casing, as part of the steam system)

I hope I am doing this correctly, that is adding another question to this thread. As this thread is in regards descrbing the legend, or key, to Bruce's deckplans, I am curious to know if the centerline odepicted on each deck with graduations running out from midships are frame numbers or a measurement of sorts.
