The public account of the foundry schedule relies on the posted shift board and the workers’ signed change requests. A review of that source and the field notes finds a specific limit: the count can be repeated, but it does not include a red chalk mark showing where a double shift crosses the night bell.
Maela Dorn checked the posted shift board and the workers’ signed change requests against the field notes. The method is to follow the task through a complete shift, including the cleanup after the bell; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The comparison covers 23 shift changes approved before the prior bell; 24 appear in the prior file. No signed correction to either entry was present when this review closed.
Reth Varn, scheduler for the communal ironworks, said the source register was complete for its stated purpose. The office has not provided a separate measure for whether the mill can meet a large order without assigning a second shift at short notice, so the public record cannot yet show which account is more representative.
The order is time-sensitive, but workers say the board records the assigned hours and leaves out the extra time needed to cool and reset the line. The current record does not settle that disagreement. This report does not establish that either side misstated the evidence. It establishes that the published total is narrower than the conclusion being drawn from it.
A second set of hands has checked the count and recorded where the methods differ. The entry belongs to the public reading file at the shift board outside the communal ironworks. The scheduler will compare planned hours with the line’s full reset time. The next file should preserve the original entries and explain any change in method.
