4. Explanation of Columns (Section IV)
a. National Stock Number (NSN) Index.
(I) Stock number column. This column lists the NSN by National item identification number (NIIN) se-

ignore the first four digits of the NSN. When requisitioning items use the complete NSN (13 digits).
(2) Fig. column, This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located. The il-
lustrations are in numerical sequence in sections II and Ill.
(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.
b. Part Number Index. Part numbers in this index are listed by part number in ascending alphameric se-
quence.
(1) FSCM column. This column lists the Federal supply code for manufacturer (FSCM).
(2) Part number column. This column indicates the part number assigned to the item.
(3) Stock number column. This column lists the National stock number for the associated part
number and manufacturer identified in the part number and FSCM columns to the left.
(4) Fig. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located in sec-

b. Nationa/ Stock Numbers. National stock numbers (NSN'S) that are missing from P source coded
items have been applied for and will be added to this TM by future change/revision when they are entered
in the Army Master Data File (A MD F). Until the NSN'S are established and published, submit exception re-
quisitions to: Commander, US Army Communications-Electronics Command and Fort Monmouth, ATTN:
AMSEL-MM. Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5006 for the part required to support your equipment.
6. How to Locate Repair Parts
a. When National stock number or part number is not known.
(1) First. Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group or subassembly group to which
the item belongs. This is necessary since figures are prepared for assembly groups and subassembly
groups, and listings are divided into the same groups.
(2) Second. Find the figure covering the assembly group or subassembly group to which the item
belongs.
