Six Position Orientation Code Lookup

Map the CH, CB, 9H, 6H, 3H, and 12H workshop test codes to physical orientations while separating them from the five-position COSC procedure.

Description

Workshop position codes identify orientations for positional rate measurements.

Workshop position codes identify orientations for positional rate measurements. A six-position inventory is distinct from a certification protocol.^[1]

Map the CH, CB, 9H, 6H, 3H, and 12H workshop test codes to physical orientations while separating them from the five-position COSC procedure.

When to use Six Position Orientation Code Lookup

Use this tool to map the CH, CB, 9H, 6H, 3H, and 12H workshop test codes to physical orientations while separating them from the five-position COSC procedure.

Choose a supported lookup focus or prepare the measured values, documented evidence and caller-selected limits requested. Use the exact field names and confirm their units or date format.

How to use Six Position Orientation Code Lookup and understand its results

Choose a supported lookup focus or prepare the measured values, documented evidence and caller-selected limits requested. Use the exact field names and confirm their units or date format.
Enter positionCode using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read certificationCaution, orientation, positionCode, positionGroup. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.

Input field	Meaning	Value type; see rules below	Requirement
positionCode	Six-position workshop test code	string; one of "CH", "CB", "9H", "6H", "3H", "12H"	Required

Select one supported focus from the input table and run the lookup. Match the exact case-sensitive enum value; no trimming, synonyms or free-text search is applied. Return the selected focus and its stored orientation, horizontal/vertical group and certification caution. keyDate, where present, can be a historical date, period or contextual label rather than a parseable date.

result=stored entry for exact selected focus

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
certificationCaution	Certification caution	string
orientation	Physical watch orientation	string
positionCode	Six-position workshop test code	string
positionGroup	Position group	string

json

{
  "input": {
    "positionCode": "9H"
  },
  "output": {
    "certificationCaution": "These six workshop orientations are not the five-position ISO 3159 chronometer list; do not treat a six-position stamp as a COSC certification claim.",
    "orientation": "crown down",
    "positionCode": "9H",
    "positionGroup": "vertical"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

The table maps CH to dial up, CB to dial down, 3H to crown up, 6H to crown left, 9H to crown down and 12H to crown right. No rate is measured or COSC certification established. This is a fixed local table; it does not fetch sources or update statements at runtime.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Positional Rate Variation Threshold Screen: Calculate the maximum-minus-minimum rate spread across measured positions and compare it only with an explicit caller-supplied range limit. For a complementary task, use Observatory Trials Certificates History Lookup: Return a sourced Kew or Neuchâtel observatory-trial, certificate, database, or terminology fact.
