Taking A Number At Records
The recorder’s window sat to the right, and a clerk greeted me with a nod. She pulled a dispenser tab and handed me a number ticket, then pointed toward the benches along the wall.
She asked me to keep my ID ready and have the parcel number written clearly. I tucked both under the paper clip on my folder.
A couple of researchers shuffled binders between tables while a courier dropped off a padded envelope. I took a seat facing the call screen.
