STATUS: The first implementation notes have been compared with the promise in the minutes. The current rule remains in force at the bell foundry above the old ceremonial stair.
RECORD: The casting ledger and the pitch checks from the west gallery. This file counts 10 bells that held their assigned note after cooling; the prior count was 10.
DISPUTE: The master caster says the alloy change is harmless; the signal crew says a narrow pitch shift can confuse a warning heard through stone.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether the foundry can cast a new public bell without losing the pitch used for flood warnings. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The next casting will be tested from three listening posts before installation. The clerk has marked the file BELL-FOUNDRY-20 for the next public review.
