Request 11-0452. Received: click 21, galaxal 884.

Describe what you are asking for. Use the back of the sheet if you need it.
My eastern boundary is not where my deeds say it is. It is out by about the width of my hand, and it is out by the same amount the whole way along, so it is not the stone leaning and it is not me. I have walked it twice with a line.
I am selling the top half of the parcel to pay for something that is my own business. The buyer's surveyor will not put his name to the plan until somebody says which of the two papers is the right one. I have been told that is not his job to say and I believe him.
I went to the registry at Coombe first. The man there was good to me. He got the sheet out and put it on the counter next to my deeds and the two of them do not agree, and he could not tell me why, and he did not pretend that he could. He said the paper behind the sheet comes here.
The stone is my father's stone. He set it and I have re-bedded it twice and both times I put it back in its own hole, and the hole is where he cut it. I say that because I know what it sounds like when a man says his boundary has shifted, and I would say the same thing in your place.
So I would like to know when it moved and who moved it.
I am not saying anybodyI am not accusing anybody of anything. I would like a date I can write on the form.I will pay what it costs.

True copy of SD 2/117/9. Two sheets.
CLOSURE NOTICE
Standards Directorate
Reference: Survey Designation 71-119
Filed: click 13, galaxal 884
Subject: status change to Concluded
Survey Designation 71-119 is reclassified from Category 3, Active Survey, to Concluded, effective the date above.
Concluded: survey complete; no phenomena outstanding; no further contact indicated.
The designation carries no further reporting obligation. No corrective action is required or anticipated. The population of record was assessed as stable, housed, and provisioned at last survey, and no subsequent finding alters that assessment.
Standing Order Six applies. Any Standard value keyed to this designation's period, mass, or extent is to be identified, rebased against an active reference, and republished within one galaxal of this notice.
Distribution: Table Custodianship, all Reaches holding a dependent value. Standing Regulations Office, file copy. Public reading room, Standards Directorate, one posted copy, no removal.
Subscribed: Aennik Vöhl, Standards Officer of the Day.
ENCLOSURE B
True copy of SD 1/1/6. One sheet.
Standing Order Six, reproduced for the file, as it is reproduced on every closure notice that triggers it:
Any Standard value keyed to the period, mass, or extent of a designation that receives the Concluded flag shall be rebased against an active reference within one galaxal of the closure date. Every value derived from it, at any remove, shall be restated and republished before the rebasing takes effect. A value not rebased within the period lapses and may not be relied upon.
ENCLOSURE C
True copy of TC 4/88/3. Four sheets. Foxing along the head margin of all four, legible throughout.
REBASING WORKSHEET
Table Custodianship, Ferrow
Reference: Standard Span, keyed value SV-71119
Filed: click 14, galaxal 884
The Standard Span has been defined, since the founding survey, as one four-hundred-thousandth of the meridian arc of Survey Designation 71-119. Following the closure notice of click 13, galaxal 884, this office identifies the Span as a keyed value requiring rebasing under Standing Order Six.
Active reference assigned: Survey Designation 88-402.
| Meridian arc | Standard Span | |
|---|---|---|
| Old (71-119) | reference retired | 1.000000 |
| New (88-402) | active reference | 1.000038 |
The Span is a base value and is not itself used for anything. It is used for the values built on it, and this office holds four such values on the standing table. All four are restated below, in the same proportion, on the same date.
| Derived value | Definition | Old | New |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Assessment Distance | 40 Spans | 40.000000 | 40.001520 |
| Standard Apprenticeship Term, distance clause | 6 Spans | 6.000000 | 6.000228 |
| Standard Bond Radius | 900 Spans | 900.000000 | 900.034200 |
| Standard Reach Boundary, default | 12 Spans | 12.000000 | 12.000456 |
All four recompute without remainder. No further rounding is applied at this office. Each is republished to its own subscriber list under its own cover; this worksheet is the only document that shows all four together, and it is not required reading for any of them.
There is no materiality floor. A derived value is restated because it is derived.
Distribution: all Reaches subscribed to any of the four values, 2,206 registries of record in aggregate, republished as an addendum to the standing table. Standards Directorate, copy for reconciliation. Table Custodianship archive, one copy, retained.
Computed by: Ëri Sallow.
Checked by: Cund Marrow.
Subscribed: Hjalt Ombrun, Custodian of the Standing Table.
ENCLOSURE D
