bombsights which is not enter -

the log.

more disassembly and adjustment
than is necessary.
In order that the overhaul personnel may have
a full knowledge of the condition of the equipment

ment or casualty be recorded clearly and fully

It is only by cataloguing the frequency
of casualties and adjustments that it is possible
for personnel charged with design to have an
dication of desired or necessary changes
and be
able to take steps to correct current designs, or
instructions.

withdrawn
