The HCO Division of every org must establish in Dept 3, Department of Inspection and Reports, an Org Rudiments section.
The section is headed by an officer. This person is called the Org Rudiments Officer.
This section's actions are senior to those of the Inspection Officer and if any choice exists the post of Inspection Officer may be left if both it and the Org Rudiments Officer post cannot both be filled. In a very small org it is a duty of the HCO Area Sec and in the absence of an Org Ruds Officer is a duty of the HCO Area Sec.
The Org Rudiments Officer ceaselessly gets in the Org Rudiments as issued in the past and revised from time to time.
These Org Rudiments are gotten in without regard to Divisions or Departments and are applied as a broad action.
What Rudiment the Org Rudiments Officer last completed is made part of the Weekly Cable (or statistic report at Saint Hill) along with OIC data.
This is added as the last notation in the cable as RUD (number).
This would be RUD 3 or RUD 12. It implies that the next number is being worked on and that the number given is completed.
When the last Org Rudiment on the list of Org Rudiments is completed one begins on Org Rud Number 1 again.
Org Ruds are done with some rapidity. Doing them through the list several times is superior to doing one or two in six months.
One does not do them superficially. One does them as well as he or she can and then goes on.
Each Rudiment done is the subject of a written report.
This report gives the essential data only. Its form is:
