Marks on a finished piece

Caption and sketch

A booking page, a desk, and a provider are drawn for the plate they sit on. The caption tells a reader which mark in the drawing to use. When a sketch needs a host, the host is a placeholder. Prices and a permanent vendor address are not placed on the pages.

The document list

A count, a quotation, or a requirement taken from a written specification is followed, at the end of the piece, by that document’s name and address. If the sentence is a habit of this desk rather than a line in a specification, the piece says it is a habit. A reader count, a poll, a league table, or a quotation from a client is left out unless that document list can point at it.

The revised line

The first date on a piece is the day it was hung, and that day is not replaced. A later pass adds the word Revised and a second date. When a stated fact is replaced, this page gains a line with the day, the piece, and the correction. Tightening a sentence without changing the fact does not add that line. The heading and the piece URL can be sent from the contact page.

10 Nov 2026. Each piece gained a further pass: what to write down, and the failure that pass is meant to catch. Titles and descriptions used by search were shortened or lengthened to fit. The hung dates, 2 Nov 2026 through 9 Nov 2026, did not move.
