Installation media issue slip
Representative support-desk practice, 1990s
Observed surface
SET 18 / eleven numbered volumes / issued 10:06
Volume 7 previously marked: intermittent read near outer track
Borrower instructed to return complete set in numbered sleeves.
Implied procedure
The warning does not remove the defective disk because no replacement is presently available.
The next installer inherits both the risk and the knowledge of where it may appear.
Interpretive residue
Shared software media accumulated biographies.
A pencilled note could become an informal reliability database when formal inventory recorded only whether a disk was present.
Accountability record
