All of it in one picture
Carry out is one picture: lifting what was on paper and taking it outside. Carry a repair list out and the machine really gets fixed; carry a survey out and someone walks the streets; carry instructions out and the steps actually happen. Carry a test procedure out and the rig really runs; fail to carry a promise out and it stays lying on the desk. Inside to outside, all the way to the end.
