A modified galaxy classification scheme for local galaxies is presented. Itbuilds upon the Aitken-Jeans nebula sequence, by expanding the Jeans-Hubbletuning fork diagram, which itself contained key ingredients from Curtis andReynolds. The two-dimensional grid of galaxy morphological types presentedhere, with elements from de Vaucouleurs' three-dimensional classificationvolume, has an increased emphasis on the often overlooked bars and continua ofdisc sizes in early-type galaxies - features not fully captured by past tuningforks, tridents, or combs. The grid encompasses nuclear discs in elliptical (E)galaxies, intermediate-scale discs in ellicular (ES) galaxies, and large-scalediscs in lenticular (S0) galaxies, while the E4-E7 class is made redundantgiven that these galaxies are lenticular galaxies. Today, these disc structurescontinue to be neglected, or surprise researchers, perhaps partly due to ourindoctrination to galaxy morphology through the tuning fork diagram. To betterunderstand the past and present classification schemes - whose origins residein solar/planetary formation models - a holistic overview is given. Thisprovides due credit to some of the lesser known pioneers, presents somerationale for the grid, and reveals the incremental nature of, and some of thelesser known connections in, the field of galaxy morphology.
