Spent the day in the photography of the triads [from G 2197] [MFA 12.1484, MFA 12.1504] and in getting them under cover in the store room. The false door triad is the heavier. The door is only 80 cm wide. A track of wooden beams was laid

from the triad to the inner corner of the store room. A wooden platform was made the length of the triad and just wide enough to pass through the door. With great difficulty the triad was got on its side edge on the platform, the iron rollers were slipped under the platform and the platform with triad was rolled carefully into the room. The platform was supported on stones, the rollers and beams were withdrawn and the triad was leaned against the wall, face out. The statue triad was moved in a similar manner but standing upright on its base.

Work went on steadily at G 4240 and G 4340
