No Bite for Belt
What it is, is a document holder.
Say you’re operating your AN/UXC-
7 lightweight digital facsimile in the
field and a strong wind whips up. You
don’t want those important faxes to be
blown away faster than Dorothy was
blown out of Kansas, do you?
Of course not. That’s why the folks
who made your fax put a document
holder inside your front cover. With
those important papers stuck under the
holder, you can spit in the wind’s eye.
(Well, maybe you’d better not do that.)
AN/UXC-7 Facsimile . . .
Dear Sergeant H. L. P.,
No, the only lower V-belt to use is the smooth one, NSN 3030-01-158-7527.
If you’re getting a belt with teeth, it’s the wrong belt. Check the NSN you’re
ordering. If it’s good, it’s a supply error.
Whatever the problem, don’t use that belt! It may fit, but it does not allow
complete control of belt slippage. The belt with teeth will bite—grab—when
you don’t want it to. It could cause injury or equipment damage.
Make sure you have the right upper V-belt, too. It’s NSN 3030-01-290-1371.
The label can be as simple and tem-
porary as masking tape and marking
pen; or, you can use a label maker and
do a more permanent job.
A TM stored in the cover puts pres-
sure on the shaft of the power switch.
It won’t be long until the knob on the
switch snaps off.
So how do you make sure the docu-
ment holder gets used for what it is
and not for what it isn’t?
Label it.
The perfect place for a label is in-
side the lid between the instructions
and the latches.
Make the words on the label as force-
ful as necessary to solve the problem.
“Do Not Store Items Inside Case”
might do.
Add warning label
What it isn’t, is a place to store
your power cable or TM.
A power cable stored in the cover
bashes against the memory load light
on one side and the power switch knob
on the other.
