"NTF" is valid only if the reported condition was not observed by the 
reporter at all.  "CCWT" means the reporter observed the reported 
condition that disappeared while inserting or removing test cords, 
thumping on the bay iron, or correcting an unrelated adjustment.

Couple of short war stories--we had a scandal and investigation of the 
proportion of tickets that were closed "NTF".

Turns out that the night equipment man, as a matter of habit, every 
night when he arrived for work, retrieved a piece of 2 X 4 he had 
hidden, and whacked the end of every lineup on his way in.

In a different office, but the same kind of problem, one day the tool 
crib clerk stopped me and asked about a stack of tickets in an 
"analysis" project she had been assigned.

All of the tickets in the stack were mine, and they all referred to 
equipment that day-shift patched-out and wrote up that night-shift 
cleared as NTF or CCWT.  I had gotten tired of writing up the sad and 
detailed story every day and had started reporing them as "AFU"-- she 
wanted to know what "AFU" meant.

I told her it meant "All Fouled Up", where upon she picked up another 
stack, also mine, marked "NFG".

I told her those were the same at the AFU ones.
