Field notes
One entry counts 209 jobs across twelve months, including the duration of small jobs, sound-post afternoons, and work turned down. Another traces eleven cracked tops in a heating season to a hygrometer that had been inaccurate for two years. The archive says it records completed work without including details meant to identify individual instruments.
