The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

kind of inspections and/or surveillance 8 hrs a day, 7 days a week.
But I agree that some customers would probably get confused by this
chapter allocation regime.
