| comment: | the label contains the following text by herman de vries [translated from the German]: "this element must be hung on a haphazardly chosen wall (or wall chosen at random) 137 cm from floor and 312 from the left corner. if there is any obstacle eg a door, a window, you must measure to the object and continue after it. if the wall is too small, then you must continue measuring on the next wall. at the point you (thus) will find, put a nail in the wall; in a corner of 130° at 25.5 cm distance from this nail put a second nail. On these you hang up the element." |
