EVERY LITTLE PIECE HELPS


 A screw taken from a TT-4( )/TG
teletypewriter set ...
 Maybe a gasket from the M-80/U
dynamic microphone ...
 Possibly some component of the AN/
VRC-12 series of radio sets ...
 Thing is, whenever you remove any
part either for repair or exploratory
reasons and end up sending your
equipment to support, one rule holds:
 Send along any gaskets, screws, nuts,
bolts, etc. that were removed' from the
equipment.
 Put 'em in an envelope, tie 'em on,
tape 'em on-any way to make sure
they make it to the support shop to-
gether with the end item.
 That way, support won't be in the
 predicament of repairing the equip-
 ment's known miseries, then running
 into a situation where a piece of missing
 hardware costs a lot of extra downtime.
 Sometimes, there might not even be
a stock number available for the piece
that's missing from the equipment.

 ,HOW ABOUT
 THIS WASHER? -


 This could mean a few complications
and holdups, like higher-level fabrica-
tion, for example.




 THIS COULD
 LEAD TO A LONG
 WAIT WHILE
 REMOVE
 PARTS ARE
 REQUISITIONED!





 A copyholder, f'rinstance, for your
teletypewriter can't be ordered as an as-
sembly because it has no overall stock
number. It's gotta be broken down and
ordered by its individual parts.
 Takes time. So, you'd definitely in-
clude any removed copyholder with the
teletypewriter you send to support.
 Make it a special point to send sup-
port all the parts you have-even if
they seem bad. In some cases they may
be usable.
 'Course, small parts do sometimes
get lost in the field or on maneuvers,
and there's not much you can do about
that except be careful.
 But when it comes to hangin' onto
regular removed parts, and sending' 'em
to support along with your end equip-
menr. that's where you can be real
careful.
 A nd that's where it counts.
