 + 
 +  - Read this entrance page. 
 +  - Read the five Stage Reading Pages in order. 
 +  - Consult the Original Record Pages for detailed source material. 
 +  - Return to the Stage Reading Pages and compare how the process moves from problem recognition to renewed completion. 
 + 
 +Readers interested mainly in the technical procedure may begin from the Original Record Pages. 
 + 
 +Readers interested in interpretation may begin from the Stage Reading Pages. 
 + 
 +The two layers should be read together. 
 + 
 +The Original Record Pages preserve the documentary source.   
 +The Stage Reading Pages help readers understand the movement of thought, correction, and renewed form within that source.

 +===== Closing Note ===== 
 + 
 +The He-115B Reform Record matters because it preserves more than a finished model. 
 + 
 +It preserves the act of seeing again. 
 + 
 +It shows a model that had once been completed, then deteriorated, then was opened again through the maker’s renewed judgment. 
 + 
 +It shows problem recognition, continuous correction, updated judgment, and the emergence of a renewed final image. 
 + 
 +A finished model shows a result. 
 + 
 +A reform record shows the movement of thought that made another result possible. 
 + 
 +For that reason, this record should be preserved not only as a technical archive, but also as a record of how a maker reconsidered his own completed work and allowed it to become new again.
