At the eastern hoist chamber above the deep cart line, Dori Tharn keeps the public comment close file beside a pale strand showing through the outer twist near the lower drum. The two details are easy to miss in a summary: one is a line in a ledger, the other is the condition that decides whether the line is useful.
Dori Tharn is the rope examiner for the east hoist. On this grain fall visit, the work begins with the rope fiber samples and the hoist’s load-and-stop book; only after the entry is checked can the crew say what the rule asks of the people below.
18 test lifts completed under load were entered this cycle, compared with 15 in the prior file. The figure is one part of a longer handoff. Dara Vek checked the rope fiber samples and the hoist’s load-and-stop book against the field notes. The method is to start at the shift handoff, where an official total can lose its context; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
The examiner has found no failed fibers; the crew argues that a rope can pass a bench test and still behave badly under a stop. The current record does not settle that disagreement. Residents closest to the work describe the difference as a route, a wait or a shift that cannot be moved on a slate. Their accounts have been attached to the docket rather than folded into the total.
The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The entry belongs to the public comment close file at the eastern hoist chamber above the deep cart line. The next trial will record a full stop with a stone load matched to the heaviest routine cart. The next visit will show whether the revision travels beyond the office that wrote it.
