Using 3 man mechanics, where does 3B umpire work with a runner on first only?

With a runner on 1B only, the 3B umpire should be in a modified B position. Instead of being on the shoulder of F4 as in two man, move to the right lining up with 2B and 3B.

Thank you very much!
 
glen,
Thank you for the excellent link. It answered most of my questions. I have a couple of questions. As the 3B umpire, where is the best position for calling a steal play from 2B without running into the SS backing up the play and where is the best position to call an attempted pick off at third?

Thanks,
Elmer
