Current research decision

What the wording does—and does not—claim

The evidence for Oklahoma City Post Office Band does not establish uninterrupted continuity across every named period, reorganization, alias, or possible successor. The packet therefore treats Documented 1910s as the supported evidence span rather than a complete institutional chronology.
