Start with the assignment board and the outgoing crew’s condition notes. It is the source used to decide how the next crew can verify a machine condition after the board changes hands; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the furnace board at Blackslag Row.

Known: the current file counts 39 handoffs with a signed condition note before the next bell, compared with 33 in the prior window. Atime-limited trial begins under a dated card visible to the crew. The entries have dates and a named clerk.

Disputed: Supervisors count a completed handoff when the board is signed. Workers want the condition note to travel with it. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the outgoing shift sometimes leaves after the incoming crew takes the board.

Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.

Next: The Year fourth, cooling weeks window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The board will test a two-signature handoff with a separate condition line.
