Perrin Shaw opens hiring slips, guarantee payments and the quay contract at the hiring board at Old Rope Yard. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks the contract defines a canceled load but not a late gate closure. The market fall period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 86 workers paid the minimum turn after a canceled load. Perrin Shaw reads the preceding count, 82, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
Contractors count only loads withdrawn by a shipper. Workers say a closed gate removes the same shift from their day. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
The clerk closes the docket and gives the next review a fresh scope. The board closed this docket after it closed the request after an independent count confirmed the current measure. The next window starts with a fresh record.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
