Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theatres and Auditoriums: Progressive Architecture Library This book treats auditoriums almost exclusively as parts of theatres. This treatment is warranted on the ground that an auditorium almost never succeeds in remaining only an auditorium. Sooner or later somebody uses it for a theatre. Its efficiency as a theatre is very often the measure of its usefulness, for the purely auditorium function will seldom pay for or support a building. We have avoided setting up detailed and precise specifications for a good theatre. We have however endeavored to set forth the methods by which specifications may be developed, and have listed essential considera tions, to the end that no important aspect of planning any element of the theatre shall be slighted. We have been encouraged in this work by the everready counsel and assistance of the people of theatre, of our clients, of architects, and the people of many crafts and professions concerned with theatre building and operation, and by Jeff Livingstone who is the kind of an editor every author wants to work with. We acknowledge in particular the constant affection, encouragement and-patience of our wives, Alice Cole and Anita Burris Meyer.

(6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...
