The latest file on the copper weight records that the affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The existing rule remains in force; officials have not announced a permanent change.
Ola Senn, licensed copper assayer, said the latest file records 14 bars checked against the common weight, compared with 18 in the previous count. The figures cover the entries on the register, not every condition at the site.
Guilds say one standard hides differences in bar shape; buyers say multiple standards make a fair comparison harder. The current record does not settle that disagreement. At the latest public table, residents asked the clerk to keep their account beside the source count. No final finding has been issued.
Nima Thol checked the assay slips, stamped weights and the merchants’ challenge book against the field notes. The method is to put the posted price beside the amount that actually changed hands; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The docket is marked COPPER-WEIGHT-09, and the next check is assigned to a second crew.
The assay table will test both systems against the same set of bars. Until that check is complete, the schedule already in force continues to govern.
