line status: intermittent

Working material from contract NB/RO/114, digitisation of the paper holdings of Nettlefold Borough Records Office, 1997–1999. Internally this contract was called Greyline.

Transfers to the Borough ran over a leased line — long silences broken by short interruptions, and a clerk at each end with a pencil.

Target cards

Head-of-reel identification cards for the Greyline series, reels 7 to 12.

Plates

Sample plates from Box 17. Plates were cropped to the frame count of their source reel.

Shelf plan

Strongroom shelf plan, 1996 — the bay and position layout to which this box is addressed.

Media

transfer_reel02.wav — dictation reel, transfer 1998. 3:14. Audible fault at 2:31; head leader damaged.
Transfer note, M. Ostrow: “Head leader is cut. There is no batch identifier on this reel at all, so the numbering is mine. There is a whistle on this one which I cannot filter out without taking the speech with it. I have left it. The second head was not in use but it has picked up the solenoid, so there is a tick on the unused channel. The deck was run backwards for the first pass by mistake and I have left that section as it came off, since the client asked for a faithful transfer.”
switchboard_1998.wav — demonstration recording, 1998, made to test the new answering machine. 0:41.
