Sylva Reed opens the reading rota, map request slips and copy register at the public map room at North Canopy House. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks a fragile map can be consulted only during one staffed interval. The budbreak period sets the pace of the work.

The page holds 83 requests fulfilled before a map copy is moved to storage. Sylva Reed reads the preceding count, 79, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.

Readers request longer open hours. Conservators say unsupervised viewing increases handling risk. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.

Anew seasonal file opens with a named site and a dated measure. The Year third, budbreak window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The archive will compare staffed hours with requests that could not be completed.

The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
