The lectern register beside the 11F city model. One entry was
photographed in 1987 and again in 1989. Only the second photograph has
it.

## The book

The Integrated Living Systems suite on 11F kept a visitor book on a
lectern beside the city model. Visitors signed with their employee
number, the date, their name and a comment. Most comments are what you
would expect: A splendid model. Most impressive.

## The rows that matter

| No. | Date | Name | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4415 | 12 Aug 1986 | S. Ishida | My wife says the house is smaller than the model. |
| 4416 | 13 Aug 1986 | | |
| 4417 | 14 Aug 1986 | K. Watanabe | The house was lit. Why is my house lit? |
| 4418 | 15 Aug 1986 | | |

## The problem

I have two photographs of this page.

[SCAN: PHOTOGRAPH 1 · DATED ON REVERSE: MARCH 1987. The visitor book
open at the August 1986 page, with the 4417 row empty.]

[SCAN: PHOTOGRAPH 2 · DATED ON REVERSE: 1989. The same page, now with K.
Watanabe’s shaking entry in the 4417 row.]

The first is dated on the back March 1987. In it, the 4417 row is empty.

The second is dated 1989. In it, the 4417 row is filled in, in a hand
that shakes badly, pressed hard enough to dent the following page.

Nobody had a reason to sign a visitor book in 1989 for a visit in 1986.

Every row is in its visitor's own handwriting, number and date included.
Except 4418. That one is in a clerk's neat print. Somebody dated it in
advance.
