4.1 Hours and the rota

The studio opens at eight. The kettle is filled by whoever arrives first and this is not negotiable.

4.2 Bench allocation

Bench allocation is by digit sum of the personnel number — a habit from the microfilm room, kept because it is quick and because nobody could ever remember the rota. Personnel 0231 works at bench 6; personnel 0164 works at bench 11.

4.3 The strongroom

The strongroom has five bays, lettered A to E, with five shelf positions in each. Addresses are written box, shelf, folder, and page where required.

4.4 House abbreviations

The studio shorthand is printed in every issue of the newsletter. See the newsletter archive.

4.5 Notation

Counts are written as words, never as numerals.
