Field notes
The registry gives each piece a filing number, category, and status, while the notices read like ongoing operational records. The site says the Penfield Mk IV’s license is suspended pending a dosage audit and its registers V.5 to V.8 are locked. It describes the Owl as a replica made over eleven years by thirty-one hands, and lists viewing on Thursday evenings for visitors who have written ahead.
