TOGETHER AND
 LET'S SEE SLOW
 NOV, BOTH IN
THE OPPOSITE
 DIRECTION
 OF THE ERROR!





 You say you try to adjust the antenna tune and antenna load for your AN/
 GRC-106 radio set like the chart says. But you just can't get the meter pointers
 to center at the same time?
 Before you send the set back to your support unit, give this deal a whirl:
 Turn both knobs together in the opposite direction of the indicator error ... and
 do the twisting real slow. It's almost a sure thing that the pointers will center
 when you do your adjusting this way.

 REEL TROUBLE-THAT'S WHAT








 Those wooden reels holding' your multipair cables don't bear up any too well
 in tropical climes.
 Prolonged outside storage of the reels ... plus the climate .. plus rough han-
 dling-all this'll weaken and break 'em.
 But you can extend their usefulness by extra-careful handling.
 Metal reels do better. They don't break and they can be re-used.
 You do have to watch for corrosion on those big metal spools, though.
 If your metal jobs have rusted and need emergency attention you can hit the
 rust spots with some semi-gloss paint (MIL-P-13596): _
 5-gal pail, FSN 8010-584-3157
 u55-galdrum, FSN 8010-584-3158 C

 Both are olive drab, and the color number is X24087. One caution: the paint
 is not effective over spongy or scale-type rust, so do a little PM on the reel surface
 before applying the pretty stuff.
