What does reset refer to in that note? Repositioning for a measurement and physically correcting the bracket could both get called that. I'd ask the author before copying it into the proposed work sequence.
Bracket reset hidden inside our FR5 fixture notes

I'd also ask where the bracket went between those checks, Victor. In our estimate the correction bench appeared as though it was next to everything else, and the preceding inspection and queue had been left out. Even an honest description can make a whole job disappear if nobody follows the part.
5 pointsJasper, author can't be reached; Isaac Baker, only the final inspection station is named, so the trip in between is missing too
21 pointsI've got a similar unresolved entry on a marked bracket: a released failure and a later pass, but I couldn't find whether it had been corrected. I was tempted to call the later number a repeat measurement because that was the tidy explanation. It wasn't in the sheet, though. I'd leave your reset as an unanswered question rather than choosing whichever meaning makes the proposed fixture easiest to sell
3 pointsPavel, did you have the actual bracket or only its sheet?
20 pointsVictor, before this becomes a fixture argument, which drawing revision were those old checks against? And are the supports for the released check described? Both can get lost behind a perfectly legible final number.
22 pointsA plausible reconstruction can be useful at a review. Just label it as one and don't put it in the operator sequence. Otherwise the person asked to follow it becomes your first test of what 'reset' meant.
14 pointsI'd start with the old fixture list if there is one; it may identify the measuring support cheaply, although owning the listed fixture wouldn't establish that it was used for this bracket.
24 pointsWho would own correction if the proposed job needs it?
1 pointsAda, the bracket was identified to the records, but that still didn't tell me what happened before its later pass. I can't fill in that part of the history from the piece alone
7 pointsIsaac Archer, revision B, same as this proposal; released supports not stated. Caleb, fabrication owns any correction, inspection decides acceptance. Neither has agreed a routine from this old note
9 pointsThen bring both into the review before the estimator treats correction as a free service. Fabrication may have the skill but still have other work, and inspection may need the piece presented differently from the welding fixture's held position.
18 pointsFair enough, Pavel. Having the piece doesn't give you its missing afternoon.
13 pointsColin's fixture list idea might help with one gap. Victor, I wouldn't wait indefinitely for the old author before getting a current bracket observation agreed; the missing explanation may stay missing.
6 pointsFound two inspection supports on the old list, neither linked to this entry; agreed with quality to plan current fit-up, held-location and released checks separately
4 pointsKeep the part identity through any correction and later check too. Your three planned stages are useful, but the exact gap you're trying to understand sits after the released failure.
21 pointsYes, correction and reinspection stay linked if needed; old reset isn't becoming an instruction, and the trial hasn't happened yet
