At the furnace board at Blackslag Row, Nazza Wire puts the assignment board and the outgoing crew’s condition notes beside the outgoing shift sometimes leaves after the incoming crew takes the board. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.

Nazza Wire is the ward and shift correspondent. On this smelt run visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.

The the assignment board and the outgoing crew’s condition notes lists 70 handoffs with a signed condition note before the next bell; the previous window lists 73. Orrik Smelt checked both against contract clauses set beside paid invoices and the work completed. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.

Supervisors count a completed handoff when the board is signed. Workers want the condition note to travel with it. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.

An inspector checks the recorded condition at the work site. The Year fourth, smelt run window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The board will test a two-signature handoff with a separate condition line.
