The deviation card
What the station believes right now.
Twelve rules, each with a weight and hard bounds it can never leave. Every six hours the back bearings are counted and the weights that were wrong get moved — a little, never wildly. A compass drifts; a deviation card is how you keep using it honestly.
| Rule | Kind | Weight | Bounds | Bad-rate when fired |
