This manual establishes a working taxonomy for wrist-worn and portable field
instruments inside Forgotten Industries. It is not a buying guide and not yet a
dossier. It is a reference plate: a compact instrument used to compare cases,
track acquisitions, preserve observed examples, and identify adjacent objects
worthy of future archive records.

The organizing question is simple: what belongs on the wrist, in the pocket, or
in the field bag of an archive built against forgetting?
