into two stacks for Tables 1-6 and Tables 7-12 and are
brought to Reader Recall in the Arena by a Runner every
half hour (at 10 minutes before the half hour; i.e. the
first files are brought into the Arena at 7:20). Files
that have been read are returned by the Runner and placed
in their original position in the Archive.
