An original account of an invented clock inspection.
When the clockmaker opened the case, she found a narrow strip of paper tucked behind the mechanism. The ink had faded, but the note recorded the date of the clock's last repair and the initials of the repairer. She called it the clock's “memory”: without it, the marks on the casing would have told her nothing about who had worked on it before.
In this passage, explain the meaning of “memory”.
