Dear Editor,
Running a large tool room like ours at Camp Beauregard, LA, can be a
nightmare if you don’t stay on top of what tools you have and who has
checked them out. If you don’t keep accurate records, soon you’ve got a
real mess.
We’ve made organizing our tool room easier with bar coding. We bought a
bar coding system from one of the major tool companies that lets us create
bar codes for both the tools and people who check them out. We give each
tool or tool set a bar code and each person or unit that we deal with a bar
code. When someone checks out a tool or tool set, we scan both the tool
bar code and the person or unit’s bar code. The information is instantly
logged into our computer. Then, when we need to check where a tool is, we
can do so in seconds.

some bad 35w9 cables for
the m95 mortar fire control
system (mfcs) have gotten
into the supply system.
the cable causes a bad
connection to the dagr
and can damage the other
cables it connects to.
The problem is the
wrong
G pin
was installed in the P1 connector.
The
correct
G pin is
coaxial,
not solid.
hey, the
MFCS isn’t

did you
check
the 35W9
cable? if it
was bad it
could have
damaged
all the
other
cables!
