A review of crane handoffs, pause cards and the shift assignment board finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the crane board on North Quay. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a late barge can push the final relief bell into the night watch.
The crane handoffs, pause cards and the shift assignment board lists 50 heavy lifts with a recorded relief interval; the previous window lists 52. Ada Merrow checked both against ward records and interviews with people who use the service. The source was checked against a second copy held by Cale Dorr. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The operator records the scheduled pause. The crew asks that a delayed start move the pause too. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how relief time is recorded when a delayed barge changes the shift end.
Alimited trial begins under the same public measure used in the old file. The Year second, high summer window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The board will compare planned breaks with actual crane handoffs.
