The laundry house in Caldrin had begun using its new branch on the fiftieth.
Iven read the sentence twice.
The public progress packet had left the next morning, travelled the twenty-day road and reached Sedge Ladder on the seven hundred and seventy-first. It contained the first accepted working record from the six-site phase, signed by the local operator, the independent inspector and the installation forewoman.

Running.
The first heating period had stayed within the measured supply. The conventional plant carried its stated load. The tested regulating assembly did its smaller work. The operator had changed the setting once, within the written range, and recorded why.
There were faults too. A cupboard latch had annoyed the morning shift. One replacement seal was rejected before installation. A training session had taken longer than the organiser expected because the new operator asked a question nobody could answer from the convenient version of the drawing.
They had found the answer in the actual assembly and amended the drawing.
