- A field note records a smoke alarm chirping every 3.2 hours while its control alarm stays quiet.
Field notes
The office’s casework is divided among material phenomena, mechanical and computational phenomena, and field investigation; its examples range from clay and glass to calculators and shredders. A sample report records the timing of a smoke alarm’s chirps and compares it with a control alarm in another room. The page also directs observers to submit Form 27-B/6 in triplicate and gives a deliberately long response window.
