PREEMBARKATION INSPECTION OF MATERIAL

PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT

General Instructions

Fire control instruments must be inspected for outward appearance, mechanical condition, and proper

operation.

Instruments must approach new equipment standards of operation and appearance. The workmanship and

quality must reflect the highest standards attainable.

Specific Instructions

Fire control instruments must conform to the following specifications for overseas shipment:

Condition of optical element. Lenses, prisms, reticles, and windows must be free from scratches, pits,

and chips that will affect optical performance of the instrument.

Functioning of mechanical parts. Mechanical parts must operate smoothly without binding or rough

motion. Parts must be free from grit and must be properly lubricated.

Illumination of radioactive parts. The level vials, reticles, and counter dials must illuminate properly.

General appearance and condition of the instruments.

All parts of the instruments must be present and free from defects.

Paint must cover all specified surfaces. Repaint if painted surfaces show signs of damage.

All optics must be free from any internal dirt and moisture. Excessive dirt or moisture indicates a

breakdown in sealing and is cause for rejection of the instrument.

All scales must be read easily. All numbers and divisions must be clearly defined.

Any fire control instrument failing to meet the requirements of the final inspection is

unsatisfactory for overseas shipment.

All warning labels must be present and legible.
