This work presents six tonal scales ranging from black to almost white, together with six bulletins from the Barcelona Meteorological Observatory corresponding to 3 and 8 May 1937. These days comprise the so-called May Events (1).

(1) The May Events were characterised by serious clashes between communists and anarchists during the Civil War. They took place in the streets of Barcelona and resulted in more than two hundred deaths. After the Events, anarchist revolutionary power was weakened to the point of practically disappearing.
