CoMMUNICAroNsS THE CASE OF THE
 WEDGED LOCK PLATE




 VI,, S







 Is your IM-174/PD radiacmeter getting robbed of service 'cause the lock plate
 on the empty battery box is wedging in the case?
 When the BA-1288/U and BA-1318/U batteries are out, the lock plate can
 jiggle off the lock plate screws and settle tight inside the case. Diggin' at it with
 a screwdriver or other pointed tool can damage the plate and radiacmeter case.

 Your best bet is to put a piece of
plastic insulating tape (FSN 5970-644-
3169) on the lock plate, securing it to
the side of the empty battery box. The
tape's listed on Page 55 in the GSA
catalog (Jan 66).
