Tally Books have been around for a long time. They are pocket-sized blank
notebooks used for recording data in the field. Oilfield workers are frequent users of such books. Every time you add a section of pipe, or make a change in the settings of the drilling rig, you would want to record that right now. Tally books are designed to be pocket size, durable, and water resistant. Even the new “stone pad” looks like paper, but it is resistant to water and physical attempts to tear the pages.
Why not use an electronic method of recording these bits of data? That would require a reliable power source, unbreakable device, and one that is not able to malfunction. Then, it is smart to stay with an old fashioned notebook.
Custom tally books are available, too. Your company logo, phone number, and even tables, can be imprinted on the cover.
