ent part number from the part ordered.

PART NUMBER - Column (5). Indicates the primary number used by the manufacturer (individual, com-

item or range of items.

mation:

Items that are included in kits and sets are listed below the name of the kit or set.

EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS (SECTION IV).

National Stock Number (NSN) Index.

(1)

STOCK NUMBER Column. This column lists the NSN by National Item Identification Num-

ber (NIIN) sequence. The NIIN consists of the last nine digits of the NSN (i.e., NSN 5305-01-674-1467). When

using this column to locate an item, ignore the first four digits of the NSN. However, the complete NSN should be

used when ordering items by stock number.

(2)

FIG. Column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/

located. The figures are in numerical order in Section II and Section III.

(3)

ITEM Column. The item number identifies the item associated with the figure listed in the

adjacent FIG. column. This item is also identified by the NSN listed on the same line.

Part Number Index. Part numbers in this index are listed by part number in ascending alphanumeric

sequence (i.e., vertical arrangement of letter and number combination which places the first letter or digit

of each group in order A through Z, followed by the numbers 0 through 9 and each following letter or digit

in like order).
