The logo is the zero of 404, at the fours’ cap height and weight. On arrival its rings settle into the mark’s pose inside the fixed brass meridian; then, slowly, the sphere turns half a round and rests, as the Sweep loader does, and now and then a glint runs along the meridian.

A lit vitrine with its plinth empty. The lamp inside comes on, a brass plaque is stood up where the piece should be — 404, not on display — and a glint passes over the glass. The museum’s own words for an empty case, and the heading says the same.

An empty velvet tray whose three impressions read 4, 0, 4. The loupe drifts over the right four, then the left, magnifying each, and comes to rest on the zero.

A watch being set: its crown is pulled out, the hands sweep round six hours and stop at 4:04:00, the crown is pushed home, and the dial’s model line reads 404.
