This wooden slab, numbered 53275, would have been issued to a worker at the Harland & Wolff Shipyard and surrendered upon checking out their assigned tools from the tool shed in the morning. Upon completing their shift for the day, they would return to the tool shed and deposit their tools in exchange for their timekeeping block - no tools, no timekeeping block. They would then take their timekeeping block over to the paymaster's office, evidencing their assigned number in exchange for their daily pay.
