Legend/KEY to deck plans

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and have not had much of a chance to search through all the posts etc yet, so please forgive me if this has been posted before.

On looking through the deck plans on this website dsc.discovery.com/convergence/titanic/explorer/explorer.html I have noticed that the furniture and fittings have been given letter or numbers, e.g. the beds are numbered, the wardrobe has been abbreviated to 'W'.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone had a key to these symbols, and could post them for me or, if this question has already been asked, could direct me to it.

Thankyou,

Tom

I'm trying to find out what "P" stands for. These are primarily found throughout the Tank Top Deck of this site's deck plan. I'm wondering if it stands for "Pump"? If so I'm kind of surprised that there was that many spaced throughout the ship. I'm very interested to find out their inner workings. I'm especially interested in the pumps after reading David G. Brown's book Titanic Myths & Truths to see how exactly a bilge may have been inadvertently turned on that channeled water into an otherwise dry water tight compartment with such force that it in effect cleared the whole place clear of men that were busy trying to contain flooding in adjacent compartments, etc.
 
I tried to search the forum to try to avoid a duplicate question but couldn't find any accurately answered.

Can anyone provide a general key/legend tot he deck plans? Like what's:

W (waste? but they seem too big for that):
DT:
FL:
O:
H (heater?):

Could you post a picture of these deck plans with the letters on? I haven't noticed them on any that I have.

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.

Regards,

Ajmal
 
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.
