CHECK-RUNNER

one who checks on the actual performance of a student or apprentice. He runs (meaning performs, observes, reports) check on the student or apprentice during the actual actions of the student or apprentice. Example: a student is supposed to be able to start and stop a steam engine. In his examination, the checkrunner orders him to start and stop a steam engine and observes whether he does it correctly by the book or write-up the student studied. As a note, it would not be the opinion of the checkrunner but an actual checked off list taken from the study materials of the student and each one would be passed or flunked. (LRH Def. Notes)
