The accepted bracket was checked after correction

Our FR10 welding proposal copies old fixture geometry. Final checks followed straightening. What can those records actually support?

Find the readings before straightening, if any, and tie them to individual brackets. Otherwise you only know what the corrected parts measured, not what the fixture produced.

No pre-correction sheet found. There is a clamped alignment check, with different reference faces.

Then why is someone comparing those dimensions? We found different datums hiding under the same word 'checked'. Get the old instruction beside the final one before spending another meeting subtracting unrelated numbers.

On another bracket review we found the fixture copy belonged to an older gusset. Which part and fixture revisions do your sheets actually identify?

Bracket D on both. Fixture sheet says B; the proposed copy says A. I'm asking why.

Could stores still have the B fixture drawing? I'd search that before asking someone to reverse-engineer the old photographs. Or rather, ask tooling who holds the controlled copy, not just the nearest folder

Tooling found B. It includes a support absent from A. Purpose isn't described in the archived change note.

Ask the old setter and welding lead about that support, with the drawing in front of them. I'd avoid transferring it as a requirement until its role is understood.

And ask who did the straightening. The new cell doesn't get that labour for free just because it sits outside the fixture drawing. Does the proposed layout leave anywhere for it if it's still needed?

Caleb, keep the missing released measurement visible in the trial request. Discovering revision B is useful, but you still haven't found an untouched bracket result to compare.

Layout assumed no straightening. That assumption is on hold; current-part trial still needs welding and quality agreement.
