INTERCHANGEABILITY SCOOP


Dear Half-Mast,
 Change I (May 68), AR 735-35, para 6-4e(1)(e)2, calls for interchangeability data
on PLL items. Does that mean the FSN and description of any other repair part that can re-
place the item recorded on the title insert?

Dear SSG O. J.,
 Not just any other repair part.
 A part's interchangeability info must come from a supply manual, or what-
ever publication authorizes the part recorded on the card.
 Interchangeability of parts is decided by the people responsible for mainte-
nance and supply procedures for the equipment concerned not by the
equipment users.
 In older supply pubs the optional item is listed along with the preferred
item. But, the newer repair parts and special tools lists (RP&STL's) list only the
preferred item.
