The committee records, for the first collection, the following particulars of transit. Between the first encounter on 25 January 2024 and the 8,888th on 2 September 2026 — 952 days — the museum walked 5,290 kilometres, a little under six a day, and met one 8 for every 597 metres. The walking was not undertaken for the register and the register did not ask for it; the committee merely counted. The register of measurements holds the rest.
Positions in
chronology are subject to the register's ordinary revisions; the
8,888th work is whichever work the register currently says it is. The
committee finds this acceptable; the matter of the other 8,888 is minuted.
