Good work. But I sense there is a story behind this post. Do share...

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: Thursday 9 March 2017, 80s Majors Matrix
Julian - one small amendment proposed if you have a moment to make changes to these placemats, could the D and T positions be swapped. This will leave TFP ports on page 1 and SFE ports across the other pages. Thanks!jdaw1 wrote: ↑22:02 Sat 21 Jan 2017 In the first post are pictures of the current draft of the placemats.
This first draft has three pages, each of one vintage. An alternative would be 2½ A4 pages, each column being one shipper, so saving some table space. Or 15 could be squeezed on one A3, shrinking the radius to 118.978pt (from the six-on-A4 of 131.315pt). Preferences?
Edit: upon reflection, I think I prefer 2½ A4 pages, each two columns of three, one column per shipper, and so (seen as a whole) one row per vintage. Failing cogent disagreement, I’ll do that.
