So, imagine my astonishment when I found—on two consective pages of one forestry archive document—these two diagrams:
On the left, the plan of the plantation.
On the right, the management structure of the workers.
The arrangement of banana plants (the small dots in the left diagram) equidistantly around the palm oil trees, is replicated almost exactly in the distribution of black workers around white workers in the right hand diagram.
archival document showing the management structure of the organisation, with separate teams working in the plantation and the factory, and each white worker responsible for four black workers. The arrangement of dots on the page exactly corresponds to the previous diagram.
Scan of a folded plan from an archival document, showing a gridded distribution of large and small dots across the page. The large dots are Palm Oil trees, the small dots, spaced evenly between them are banana plants.
