Dear Mr. Gadberry,
Great idea and we’ll be happy
to spread the word. MELIOS
users, installing this guard is
optional, but it sure makes a lot of
(dollars and) sense. For specifica-
tions, fabrication and assembly
instructions, send an e-mail to:
george.ambrosia@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
or
mary.grasdorf@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
.
Or write to:

AN/PVS-6 MELIOS…
Dear Half-Mast,
The
compass/vertical
angle
measurement (C/VAM) selector
switch on the AN/PVS-6 mini-
eyesafe laser infrared observation
set (MELIOS) sticks out from the
laser like a sore thumb.
And, like any sore thumb, it
often gets bashed!
I’ve come up with a plastic
guard to protect the selector
switch.
Each time the shaft of the
selector switch breaks, it costs
more than $1,500 to replace it.
The plastic guard will save big
bucks.
CECOM has approved the use
of this guard and I was hoping you
would spread the word about it.

Ft Shafter, HI

switch!

below for
a
better
idea.
“…but
not
this way!”
