Case 24 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Correction note for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: retain the wording beginning “Match reference, dimensions and…” in the record.

Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 43 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle · source wording exercise
Summary draft for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: the answer addresses “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…”; the related point is “Use the same numeral, camera axis…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Case 33 — Timegrapher reading context: what do rate, amplitude and beat error actually tell me?
First identify the caliber, lift-angle setting, winding state and measurement position. Without those fields, the rate, amplitude and beat-error values lack enough context for a useful comparison.
Limit of the answer in “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
