A decision on the public clock maintenance should be judged at the clock face at Vesper Steps, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Date every record and distinguish a current rule from a custom that has simply lasted a long time. The current file is the Year fifth, late winter window 3 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The clock calibration cards and the service board that uses its signal lists 55 public services with the calibration date posted; the previous window lists 52. Adrian Veil checked both against dated handoffs followed from dispatch to the last public stop. The difference matters because how a service announces time when the public clock is being calibrated.
The clock keeper trusts the calibration card. Residents rely on the time board at the route entrance. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the clock is adjusted during the quiet interval but its board stays visible.
The Year fifth, late winter window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The keeper will post the calibration window on the route board before work begins.
