[Reeve, in pencil at the foot of the register:]

Same fault four times and the same engineer signs it off four times and I have
never once met him. Payroll has no D. Hale. Contracts has no D. Hale. The gate
log has no D. Hale.

Picture lost with sync present is not a fault. It is somebody putting something
over the lens. You cannot fix that with a service call and you certainly cannot
fix it four times.
