With the final version of the rough draft completed, you start to develop
the actual chart using a pencil to draw the rectangles representing the
subdivisions and the authority or command lines.
Then, check your
drawing to ensure it still presents the organization as shown in the
final version of the rough draft.
When you are satisfied the chart
presents the organization, then ink the rectangles and the authority or
command lines. Remember, the authority or command lines are the heaviest
(darkest) line on the organizational chart.
The chart is now ready for the lettering. Draw the necessary guidelines
and apply the lettering using any of the mechanical methods (Leroy or
Wilco lettering sets), or use prepared, pressure sensitive letters.
