These plaques can be seen on almost every house, but we are so used to them that almost can not see. Here it is, urban art:




Many childhood tormented by the question - what do they mean?

Let's start with the white tablets.

Plate White says that somewhere nearby there is a water pipe or a sewer manhole. The figures around the three-beam navigator in the form of the letter "T" refers to the distance to the door. For example:



It says that if this place to retreat from the wall for five and a half meters and a foot to the right, we see the hatch. Check. Yeah, that's right:



At hatch the same letter "D", and that on the plate - all at once. The letter "D" indicates that this hatch rainwater drainage. Other letters on white labels mean: "B" - water, "K" - sewage.

Apparently, the cover often put just those who have on hand.

Progress does not stand still. There are "advanced" sample plate XXI-st century. Such as this, with glass:

There are red signs, but that they represent - the science is still unknown :)
