Frame
8725
The second frame ordered by the same customer on the same day as 8724. The attachment page holds the promised finish: a frame sketch drawn on the back of a blank spec sheet, marked “Chrome if poss” on the forks, “Yellow” at the head and seat tube, and on the rear triangle “Bright Metalic Green as in shop”, with an illegible first word scribbled out before “Bright”. A deposit is recorded as “Yes”. Unlike its sister sheet the gear lever bosses line carries only a dash, while the clip pip is marked “Yes”.

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.
