Which bracket measurement belongs to the part after unclamping?

I'm reviewing bracket records for an FR5 welding proposal. One sheet says square in jig. Another says corrected and accepted. Neither identifies the free-state measurement before correction. Worth using these at all?

Do the sheets identify the same bracket and drawing revision, or are you joining them because they came from the same job folder?

Same batch, no individual part marks. Drawing C on the inspection sheet. Jig note has no revision. I can't honestly connect a particular correction to that in-jig result.

Use them to identify missing information for the review, but I would not combine those entries into a before-and-after result for one bracket

Is the jig drawing still around, and does it show which faces locate the bracket?

Toolroom found jig drawing B. It locates the base and one side face. Actual jig has an extra contact absent from B. They've taken that into the review.

Did anybody explain the extra contact, or are we still looking at somebody's useful-looking alteration?

And when that contact is assessed, include incoming fit-up and the released drawing-C dimensions in the trial plan, since an in-jig check alone would leave your original question unanswered
