From the Kutaisi reading room
Logs from the probe, set down as figures and read in ink
A mill dryer, a glasshouse ridge, a river intake, a motor bearing: each leaves a strip of numbers. This room takes those strips, draws them as figures, and writes what the line is doing in words a shift lead can use.
We do not install instruments and we do not sell a screen to watch. We take the file you already keep, mark the gaps and the units, and return a chart set with a written reading. Briefings are held on Chavchavadze Avenue or by telephone once the figures are dry.
What a log becomes in this room
The work starts when a complete log arrives: a spreadsheet, a logger export, or a photographed paper chart with the time marks still readable. We ask for the units, the sampling interval, and whether the clock was winter time or summer time. Without those three, a beautiful line can still lie.
Drawing comes next. Each channel gets its own figure or a paired figure when two probes speak to the same room or machine. We mark missing hours, calibration days, and known stoppages in the margin rather than smoothing them away. The written reading then says, in ordinary sentences, where the line sat, when it moved, and which of those moves line up with the events you already know.
A briefing is short. We sit with the figures on the table, or we talk through them by telephone, and we leave you the pages. If the series is still running, we can take the next month on a standing arrangement. If you only need the figures and will write the commentary yourself, say so at the start.
Commissions now taken
Full interpretation of a sensor series
A complete reading of one site or one instrument family: cleaned series, annotated figures, a written note, and a briefing once the pages are ready.
Read the brief →Chart commission, commentary left to you
Figures only: axes, units, and event marks drawn from your log so you can write the commentary for a report or a works meeting.
Read the brief →Walkthrough of the instruments
A visit to see how the probes are read, where the logger sits, and which habits in the book make a later chart lie.
Read the brief →Standing monthly reading
The same channels, every month: new figures, a short note on what changed, and a flag if the line leaves the band you named.
Read the brief →A specimen from the cabinet
The cabinet holds anonymised figures from past commissions: ridge temperature against vents, soil moisture against irrigation hours, a mill dryer's two probes, a quiet week on a river intake. They are examples of how we mark a page, not a catalogue of every instrument in Georgia.
Letters left on the desk
They caught that our night probe was an hour behind the day book. The charts looked wrong until that note went on the figure. After that the written reading matched what the night shift already felt in the house.
I wanted six clean figures for a works meeting and nothing else. They still asked about units twice. Slightly slow, but the axes were labelled as the electrician had recorded them, not as someone guessed.

Wanted: a complete log
If you keep temperature strips, moisture probes, vibration pens, water-quality cups, or weather-station files, send the units, the sampling interval, and the dates. The room will say whether a chart set, a written reading, or a visit to the instruments is the right next step.
