Project Identification: The project and specification number are recorded at the <br /> bottom of each page of the specifications. <br /> 3.5. Page Numbering: Pages are numbered independently for each section, and are <br /> recorded in the listing of sections (Table of Contents) at the beginning of the <br /> Project Manual.
