Network Symbology

[Paul Sutton]

I think the same problem is aparent in electronics,  the US symbol for 
an AND gate is different to that of British Standard,  even though most 
people use the US standards, there is no one world wide agreement on 
standards,  on advantge with the US one is that it saves people from 
attempting to draw a & which is not easy,  really,
