In the book

The same frame in the bound ledger

Through 1982 the workshop kept two records of an order: a line in the bound book, and the printed sheet above. Both give this frame the same number and the same date. The book is the shorter of the two and the only one written in the shop itself.

Kept in the folder with the worksheet and scanned with it: the build written out and ticked off as it was fitted, a letter, a sketch, the second side of the sheet. The worksheet is the record; these are what was going on around it. Tap one to read it full size.
