Project Description:
An impressive organization chart from 1924 with a clear emphasis on the central authority, which makes it difficult to ascertain the relations of the subordinate divisions. However, its radial structure has some interesting applications in many centralized (not to use the word authoritarian) systems.

Good visual representation of the connecting network around the central leadership role.
It does bring up some conflicting thoughts on whether the organization therefore revolves around the leader, but one could also presumme the leader is the hub, supporting those around him.

I believe that the better way of indicating SMT support is the inverse triangle or pyramid altho the latter difficult to display in 2d - shows more clearly the influences on the much greater number of workers be they employees or contractors.
