Q: Generic name of any kind of unit inside the company

CowperKettleI'm translating a document template, to be filled out later for specific purposes. It has a table in the beginning which indicates who exactly produced a particular document. In the first line of the table, we have Подразделение: наименование "Подразделение" is literally "subdivisio...

Also called department, division, or a functional area."

@ColleenV thank you!
If an analytical procedure was developed at a certain business unit, how might I call it later in the document? It is called "подразделение разработчика" (Developer business unit) in Russian in the document I'm translating. I wonder if this would be understood by English-language readers, "Developer business unit".

@CowperKettle The problem with "developer" is that it is most commonly used to mean someone who develops software. I will have to think about it
If it is a very formal document you could maybe say "the originating business unit", but it would depend on the context
Eh, I don't really like "originating". I would probably just say "the unit that developed the procedure"

Q: Letter "s" in a shape of a sail

SovereignSunSometimes in archaic books and in different scrolls, books and texts in old games I meet the letter "s" resembling a sail (wikipedia article here calls it the cursive form). Is it still used in PDE and do people write it this way? Is it much less popular than the standard shape?

@CowperKettle Isn't it way past your bed time? :)
