    khaki colored object is steel, on orig. box, about 3" o.d., gap is 1.75 inches, diameter of circular part cross-section is 3/4 inch.

    Official gov. Nomenclature consists of three words, what are they (order of words doesn't have to be in same order DOD uses them, like "Widget, big ugly.")

    I think the leetle biddy hourglass mark is the govt inspector's mark containing the year of mfg.

    Good guess but no.

    Clue no. 1: I'm guessing the long number penned on it is because when the bare item got to the inspector, he noticed on the spec sheet that the item was required to have its ---------- number on it, but since it didn't restrict how it was to be applied, he let the Sikorskites write it on in ink instead of rejecting the items.

    Rules change 1: Sikorsky's noun name for this, associated with the inked-on number, is one word, and that's an acceptable answer which will bring the winner the same fame, wealth, and other wonderful rewards as the 3-word gummint name.

    Stamp on outside of heat-sealed, plastic impregnated paper "milspec" package. Buncha gibberish to most people, but the first long number is I think the National Stock Number ( or whatever they call it now,) second is Army contract number, third is Sikorsky's part number. You will be tested on this next week!
