Fixture. This project is invented — an imaginary client, imaginary prose, placeholder boxes at true aspect ratios. It exists so the design structure can be looked at with content in it. No real project is in this repository, and none may be until it is signed off and the export gate exists.

Quarry

A survey tool for a working quarry, of which almost nothing survives. Bellhouse Aggregates, 2009 to 2010.

The east face, photographed in 2009 on the only camera anyone had. It is reproduced at the size that camera can honestly hold.

Survey plate, east face

Not recovered

A single hand-drawn plate carried the whole survey: eleven benches, their heights, and the fault the drilling had to avoid. It is not withheld, it is gone - the office it lived in closed in 2011 and no copy was kept. What is recorded here is what two people who used it independently remember of it, which is why the block is marked interpretive.
