I was taught theat CLIP meant CHANGE LABEL IN PLACE.
"IN PLACE" as opposed to what? Unmounting the 2314 and using a

"IN PLACE" as opposed to reformatting (and thus erasing) the Volume.
The way the Volume got its VOLSER in the first place was by Formatting
it (at least by writing a VTOC). CLIP allowed the VOL Record to be
updated without touching anything else on the Volume.

Not the volume; only the the first track of the first cylinder.
