Description
Preserve an explicit historical freight-ton transcription and source definition.
Historical economic records depend on archival wording, accounting signs, local units, assigned values, denominations and date precision. A wage-day ratio is a comparison of supplied amounts rather than actual labor time. Preserving an account-year label or unit factor does not authenticate a historical price, practice or legal obligation.
Preserve an explicit historical freight-ton transcription and source definition.
When to use this tool
Use Historical Ship Freight Ton Definition when you already have recordId, tonText, suppliedDefinition and need to preserve an explicit historical freight-ton transcription and source definition.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordId, tonText, suppliedDefinition. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter recordId, tonText, suppliedDefinition using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| tonText | Ton Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedDefinition | Supplied Definition | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"recordId": "R17",
"tonText": "20 tons",
"suppliedDefinition": "register measure in source"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"R17\",\"20 tons\",\"register measure in source\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without equating mass and volume tons. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original ledger, archive and historical unit or monetary definitions when reconstructing an account. Reconcile period, commodity quality, currency and source corrections before comparing values; local labels and supplied conversions preserve only their declared assumptions.
