An interesting map of Paris🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 Métro and RER network found in a restaurant in Montreal. The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s designers seem to have made the most of a limited color palette by assigning the same color to groups of lines that do not intersect–lavender for 2, 8, and 3b, brown for 11 and 6, magenta for 12 and 7, etc. Unfortunately it seems they could not avoid breaking this rule at Strasbourg-St. Denis.

The best I can date this map is to between Dec. 1982 (Line 7 opens a new branch to Le Kremlin – Bicetre) and Feb. 1985 (this branch is extended).

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划thing to note that this diagram – which I believe was designed as a postcard by C. Spandonide (see name at bottom left) – is very old and faded from being on this restaurant🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s walls for goodness knows how long. Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s another copy of it on Flickr that shows what it originally looked like. Note that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s dated to 1984, which seems about right.

That said, Hayden🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s comment about the limited col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette still holds true. Despite being printed as four-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划process (which allows for almost any tint or shade desired), the Métro routes are shown in only six hues – yellow, red, green, blue, brown and purple. The yellow and blue used for the RER lines are ever-so-slightly different to those used for the Metro lines, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still an interesting design decision. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s even🔸澳洲幸运10预测 more interesting 🔸澳洲开奖 this diagram is compared to a contemporaneous official RATP “Micro” diagram designed by Fabrice Rouxel.

Look closely – you can see that there is the exact same🔸澳洲幸运10预测 breakdown of six colours assigned to the Metro lines on both maps, though some of the colours used are slightly different. So, red on the Spandonide diagram relates to pink on the Rouxel diagram and these colours are both assigned to lines 7 and 12. And so on: green is to light green for lines 4, 7b and 9; blue is to aqua for lines 5 and 13, etc. What we can infer from this is that this is simply how the lines were officially designated at this point in time. The Spandonide map has simply tweaked the hues slightly, perhaps to avoid copyright or licensing issues? The modern pastel route colours that we now know so well simply weren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t in use in 1984.

The unavoidable double-up of green at Strasbourg–St. Denis isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t too bad as the lines cross at right angles, neatly avoiding any potential confusion. The diagram itself is a valiant effort to fit a complex network into a very small space, even using the black border to contain information about destinations off the edge of the diagram! All things considered, the labels are quite legible – and for once, all-caps is probably a good idea, as lower-case characters could perhaps be too hard to read at such a small point size.
