Following the General Index is a separate Large Glass Index, indicated by “LG” in cross-references, which catalogues all components of the Large Glass (whether executed or not) as well as major themes in Duchamp’s notes and in this book’s interpretation of the Glass. Subjects that are not limited to the Large Glass, including all fields of science and technology, are listed in the General Index, with subheadings identifying pages relevant to the Large Glass.
