Working Reference Taxonomy Object-reference plate

Wrist, pocket, and field-bag instruments

Manual 002 converts the wrist and field-instrument concept PDF into a public collector's reference plate. It preserves the Vostok case taxonomy, collection roster, spotted-reference entry, adjacent instruments, and Contre l'Oubli doctrine line without treating the material as a dossier.
