Notes

This work counter can be seen in a historic photograph in the Edward Deming Andrews Memorial Shaker Collection at the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library: http://contentdm.winterthur.org/digital/collection/shaker61/id/505/rec/8. That photograph has been incorrectly identified as the Brethren's shop at the North Family; it is the Church Family.
