Field notes
The project tracks a fictional Dutch branch through Oostwetering, Boterpolder, Kalverzijl, and Grienddijk, combining a route map with workshop notes. Entries distinguish the evening work happened from the later transcription date, which gives the archive a useful process record. The group reports solving slow-running problems by addressing damp rail joints, dead frogs, and cleaning, while its operating notes describe a fourteen-move sequence for four people sharing a small attic.
