The list includes a number of fields for each of the drawings in the list. The fields include a name for each drawing, a Sheet Number, and an issue date. If a drawing in a later set corresponds with a drawing in an earlier set, the list includes an indication that clearly shows such a correspondence and shows which set should be used for the latest version of such corresponding drawings.
