Where a later holder is more visible than the first — the City carries the bureau roundel today — the name still belongs to the earlier capture, and the wall label says so. The rule has teeth: on 14 September 2026 the family called the museum drawing became the 1917 rounded cut, because a sweep of the Bulletin found the Bend Park Company printing that construction in February 1917, ninety-five years before the museum published it.", "membership": "A member is a drawing measured or read as the family’s construction. A family is defined by its text. What encloses the letters — a double rule, a single heavy one, a thin one, a solid disc, or nothing — is a treatment: recorded per drawing, never used to separate one family from another. The character that separates the 1912 cut from the 1917 rounded cut is corner form, whether a stroke turns to a point or a curve. The character that separates both from the 1950 re-cut is N slant, which way the third letter’s diagonal runs.\n\nThere is no second tier. Until 14 September 2026 a drawing could be in a family’s manner — the same construction, measured below the same-artwork band — and that said twice what this scope already says once, since membership never claimed shared artwork in the first place. It also kept a 1917 drawing out of the reckoning for a family’s name. Every drawing in the crop registry appears exactly once across the seven families, the drawings standing alone, this project’s own files and the references, and scripts/lib/emblem-families.mjs throws if one goes missing or is placed twice. A drawing may be in no family at all; it may not be in two.\n\nThree sets of families are close enough to belong together, and each set is separated by exactly one character. A family may name a `parent` in `parents`; the parent is a grouping and holds no members of its own, so no drawing gains a second placement. Each family says what distinguishes it from its siblings, and says on what grounds: six name a character, and the O’Kane glass names its medium, because the five characters it reads differently are five things leaded came forces. That is the one grouping here not made on a character, and it is recorded as such rather than dressed as one.\n\nThe angular construction covers the 1912 cut and the 1950 re-cut, which differ only in which way the third letter’s diagonal runs, and the O’Kane glass, which is the same construction in lead. The rounded construction covers the 1917 rounding and the museum rounding, which differ only in whether the last letter tapers. The notched construction covers the bureau roundel and the centennial button, which differ in the third letter and in nothing else a reader can see.\n\nThe two earlier groupings were both first held by the Bend Park Company, in 1912 and in 1917, which is the whole story falling out of the naming rule rather than being arranged: the company that owned the emblem had two constructions of it within five years, and somebody else re-cut each one decades later.", "families": [ { "id": "the-1912-cut", "name": "The 1912 cut", "diagnostic": "Broad letters, a three-armed E, a capital N, and corners that taper to a point.", "firstKnown": { "specimen": "bb-1912-07-03", "dateLabel": "July 1912", "basis": "Publication", "year": 1912 }, "holder": "The Bend Park Company", "members": [ "bb-1912-07-03", "bb-1912-07-03-page", "bb-1925-09-19-32", "dhm-printed-leaves", "dhs-homesteader-2020-06", "news-1916-11-22-9" ], "label": "The printing block the Bend Park Company published in July 1912 and the club handed the Bulletin in January 1913.

The sixth, the tilt, is the photograph.

Downtown Bend also used the museum drawing, for its 2018 badge.\n\nThis family has now been named three times, and the rule that moved the name each time is the same one: a family is named for its first known holder, among its members. It was the Downtown file until 16 September 2026, when the City of Bend’s centennial button artwork was read as this construction and dated by its own web capture to 21 November 2005, a year earlier, and it became the centennial button.

The floor is a minimum and never a licence - a state may be scored unreadable at any resolution, and two are, where the picture shows less than the floor implies. For the six drawings the comparison cannot take, the read box is drawn round the letters alone, so the sheet shows no ring for them: their ring and their letter width were read from the record’s own image at the same sitting, and are the only states on those rows not visible in the sheet. A ninth character, corner form, was added on 14 September 2026 after a review of the placements: the ring had been doing the work of separating two families whose difference is in their lettering, and a ring is a treatment rather than a construction. It is read from an enlargement of the letters with the ring cropped away. A tenth character, N slant, was added the same day: the 1950 and 1953 drawings carry a mirrored third letter, which `n-form` could not distinguish because a backwards N is still a capital one.
