When you're assem-
bling the mine detector,
plug the covers on the
cable and earphone con-
nectors into the covers
for the connectors for
the electronics unit. That
keeps the covers from
disappearing
and
also
keeps the covers from
filling with dirt and sand
that can find their way to
the connectors.

❁
When you adjust the detector's sensitivity,
you're supposed to hold the head 2 feet off
the ground and away from any metal that could
interfere with the reading. It's hard to hold the
head like that while making the adjustment, so
we drop to one knee and brace the detector
handle on the other knee.
That gives you the
right height and
makes it easier
to hold the head
in that position.
We've come up with a couple
of suggestions at the
ARMY
Engineer school
that’ll
help soldiers use and maintain
the AN/PSS-12 mine detector…
I
t's the year
205 bc.
Just
outside Carthage
in north africa,
publius
cornelius,
the commander
of the attacking
Roman army, is
totally bummed
out…
why
so
glum,
boss?
you are my
second in
command,
antonius.
.. I
will tell you.
hannibal
is
attacking
rome.
everyone is sick
of the smell of
elephants.
people are slipping
and falling in the
streets.
peanut
supplies have been
exhausted.
to stop hannibal,
we must destroy
carthage.
..
and
make him give
up his attack and
come home.
It's in the
bag,
boss. just lay
some denarii on me
for new equipment
and we'll have the
job done in
no time.
