Orchestral Seating Plan

I think this is probably the right forum to post this in.

I’m in the middle of sequencing an orchestral number, but I’m unsure about the placement of the instruments in a traditional orchestra.

Does anyone have any links to a resource that sets it out clearly, better still, does anyone know and can print up a graphical representation of the seating arrangement.

Instruments used so far:

Double Bass
Cello
Violas
Violins (1)
Violins (2)

Trombone
Trumpet
French Horns
Oboe

Clarinet
Flute
Contra-bassoon

Timpani
Cymbals

    I've found several places with this sort of info in the past.

    Here's a photo from a favorite page with lots of extra seating arrangements for specific performances... it will get you thinking:
