FOREWORD
The purpose of this manual is to provide a source of information from which the student may acquire the knowledge needed to perform first and second echelon maintenance on the Norden Bombsight Equipment, M-Series.
Memorization of the material in this manual will not produce well trained maintenance men. It is the job of the Instructor to provide the practical application of the text material.
The student must be constantly reminded that his mastery of the text material is essential and that he must train himself so that he can apply what he has learned.
A well trained maintenance man must have the following prerequisites:
1. Thorough knowledge of the equipment. 2. Pride in his workmanship. 3. Common sense. 4. Ability to use his hands.
If the maintenance man has the above pre- requisites, he may develop an ability to maintain perfectly the equipment.
This manual is divided into sections. This arrangement provided a method whereby all the material concerning the stabilizer is presented in Sections I and IV, inclusive, and the material concerning the sight is presented in Sections V to X, inclusive.
Such an arrangement of the text material also provides for any future changes.
The illustrations are to aid the student in visualizing exact construction and operation of the equipment and to provide a more interesting presentation of otherwise dry mechanical facts.
This manual was set up with the idea in mind that a definite amount of time be spent in the study of the manual and a discussion of the mater- ial studied.
