Sci-Tech Records
Drawer SCI-TECHThe Sci-Tech drawer holds ten records, the fifth largest of the seven and 8 per cent of everything held in a drawer. They run from July 2017 to March 2018. Five of them carry a 2018 filing date. The heaviest single month is March 2018, with three.
Handsets and consumer electronics, games, and vehicle launches. The drawers are subject classes rather than departments, so a record appears once, in the drawer it was reported under. Each keeps the address it was published at, with its filing date printed on it.
How the drawer fills
The ten records sit across eight calendar months inside a span of nine, so the drawer was worked in bursts rather than kept up month by month. That is 1.3 records for each month the drawer was open. The earliest filing is Google Unveils Enterprise Version Of Google Glass; the latest is Reliance JioPhone to get WhatsApp support soon.
The archive as a whole covers 43 months. This drawer was open in 50 per cent of the months anything was filed at all — it opens one month after the first record in the archive. Sparse drawers are kept as they were found rather than merged into fuller ones: the address a record was published at is the thing worth preserving, and folding a drawer away would break the path that leads to it.
Filed alongside
In the same months that this drawer was open, the desk was also filing into Worldwide (44), Culture (18) and Economy (13). A record is filed once, in the drawer it was reported under, so a subject that straddles two classes sits in one of them and is reachable from the full index either way.
The other drawers are above. The full index — all 127 catalogued records, with a filter that reads titles, drawers and dates at once — is on the archive index.
