How to use this worksheet

1. Carry chosen items into the inquiry rather than asking the visitor to reconstruct a list.
2. Require rental dates, but let uncertain specifications go to a person.
3. Check overlapping reservations, setup capacity and travel before confirming.
4. Reply with the agreed equipment, dates, exclusions and applicable booking terms.

Submitting this brief does not reserve equipment. This is not a rental contract or a live inventory system.
