– ‘That went well.’- ‘What’s that?’[driver turns down the radio’s volume]- ‘That went well.’- ‘Yep, more or less like I expected.’- ‘The staircase was the toughest part.’- [laughs] ‘It was. Good thing you brought a rope.’- ‘I didn’t.’- ‘Whose was it then?’

[traffic report on the radio, driver turns the volume up again]

– ‘I’m surprised there’s this much traffic at this time of night.’- ‘Probably all taking a head start for the weekend.’

Four fishermen, a bystander and a family of four look out over the Aspropyrgos Bay with their backs turned to the Thriasian Plain. The plain is bounded by Mount Egaleo to the east, Mount Parnitha to the north, Mount Pateras to the west, and the Elefsina and Aspropyrgos Bay to the south. Today it is a site of concentrated industrial development with cement factories, steel mills, shipyards, scrapyards and oil refineries. In a feud over the ownership of the area between Athena and Poseidon, the latter flooded the plain in wrath.

The names ending in -ITY were originally selected by Miss A.E. Everard – the shipowner’s spouse – from Nuttals Standard Pronouncing Dictionary published by F. Warne et Co. circa 1872. The volume had belonged to her mother and is still in existence. Many of the ship names can be seen underlined in pencil.

The choice was confined to S-names for the larger dry cargo ships, C-names for the smaller dry cargo ships and A-names for tankers.

K.O.: ‘If it is documentary, it is okay.’

B.T.: ‘Due to delays, the pacemaker will be here for at least the next forty years. But of course for this kind of device, such an amount of time is miniscule. Plutonium 238 has a half-life of 88 years and decays into uranium with a half-life of 243 000 years.
M.D.C.: ‘All this time the device functions inside its container of sand and mortar?’
B.T.: ‘Yes, as longs as the plutonium battery doesn’t run out, and there is no reason to believe it will anytime soon, I guess it will keep functioning. I propose we take a walk to see the different places where this pacemaker has been.’

Good morning from Athens airport,

The ships that are bunked in anchorage area are ships ‘laid-up’, not in operation, either it was the shipowner’s decision because they couldn’t find cargo (so running expenses were high without profit) or subject ships have been arrested by banks (loaners) and port authorities due
to shipowners debts.
So, ships remain there with unknown future, although some of them must be scrapped but nobody undertakes the responsibility and expenses because they don’t care. Some good ones are just awaiting a shipping market raise in order
to be reactivated.

Ready to fly, Stefanos

F.R.: ‘It is a sweep of light. But you can not have a glass vacuum chamber.’
M.D.C.: ‘So if we think about the inside of the tunnel it is illuminated.’
G.T.: ‘The beam pipe, not the tunnel in its entirety but the vacuum chamber within it.’
M.D.C.: ‘Right, so the inside of the beam pipe is illuminated. But we can only think it, we can never see it.’
G.T.: ‘Yes, definitely, it’s lit, it’s full of light, but you can not see it. We extract it only at one point.

We stood among various exhibition objects, most of them in plywood cases or bubble wrap. He told me he knew every object in the building, but he couldn’t recall ever having come across rock samples. He assumed the document server is no longer up to date and that the rock samples are probably stored elsewhere.

He remembered a story his local librarian once told him: if a book is returned to the wrong shelf, or a reference is one letter off in the catalogue, the book might be lost forever and can only resurface by coincidence.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a documentary photographer and I would like to make a documentary about the reinforcement structures on Mount Fuji. I am hoping you could help me.

In his ‘Court traité du paysage’ Alain Roger (Gallimard, 1997) talks about the reinforcements that were built in the eighties to try and halt the effects of erosion on the iconic conical shape of Mount Fuji. He says that in an attempt to ensure the mountain would conform to its image, concrete structures were built. A 1984 New York Times-article speaks of a ‘cement band aid’ to slow down the erosion in the Osawa failure at a height of 7200 feet.*

I have been reading the Mt. Fuji Sabo Office-website but I was wondering whether you know of these constructions this high up the mountain that were built in 1982 and whether there are other new constructions at these heights? My main interest is not in the sediment systems at the foot of the mountain but in the constructions higher up on the mountain in the actual Osawa failure that try to keep the mountain together. Do you have any information on these structures?

Thank you very much,
Kind regards,

Michiel De Cleene.

The air watchtowers of the Korps Luchtwacht Dienst, a network of 276 watchtowers built across the Netherlands in the 1950s and 1960s, were conceived to spot Soviet aircrafts.

Approximately half of these towers were built of prefabricated concrete elements of which barely twenty remain. Most towers were demolished. Some are partly reused as woodshed, toolshed or dovecot. The remaining constructions are often deliberately surrounded by and concealed from view by trees in an attempt to conserve them.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a photographer working on a growing encyclopaedia on ships, forests and pacemakers.

Through a series of cross-references, I came across the story about the logs your company delivered to Ishinomaki, Japan, for the reconstruction of the masts of the Sant Juan Bautista.

Is it possible to put me in touch with someone who was involved in this operation? Another source (T.F.) told me the logs (four Douglas fir logs and one western red cedar log) came from the Port Alberni region. Can you confirm this?

All the best and thank you in advance,
Michiel De Cleene

Hi,

We’re not sure specifically, but they came out of TFL44. The South block that meets with Bamfield is the best chance.

Good luck.

A growing encyclopaedia on ships, forests and pacemakers.

Reference Guide is a collection of entries, connected and fuelled by cross-references. These not only determine the characteristics of the encyclopaedia and its use, but they are also the mechanism behind its expansion. All* entries are transcripts of moments when objects and technologies challenge the strict boundaries that apply to them and emphasize their transitory nature.

*Although the main focus of Reference Guide lies within these moments of technological candour, the collection demonstrates a surprisingly high interest in characters and phenomena along the side-lines of these episodes and displays a severe tendency to digress.

TFL 44 currently covers over 232,000 ha, approximately five-sixths of which is productive forest land. The major tree species include western hemlock, western red cedar, balsam (amabilis fir), Douglas fir and yellow cedar.

During a two hour tour, H.V. (head of the science collection) guided us from the library to the observatory and back. Along the way, he touched upon various rarities: one hundred ninety-five volumes of the Encyclopédie Méthodique (according to H.V. the most complete copy left in the world), the severed summit of Mont Blanc (‘Actually de Saussure brought back a triangular piece of rock from just below the snow line near the summit’), an original copy of the publication on the infamous Lügensteine (‘These date back to the time before the hoax was unveiled’)…

In guiding us from room to room, H.V. piled oddity upon curiosity. He showed a particular interest in all things fish-related.
