I suppose it depends on whether it was drawn by a wireman or by the
designer.  Small firms often benefit from more direct contact between
the designer and the user or repairer.

The drawing office in one firm I worked for was mainly staffed by radio
amateurs and/or radio engineers.  Their circuit diagrams and handbooks
were a model of clarity.
