<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 331841, member: 54"]Without even knowing whether this thing is pocket-sized or more the size of a steamer trunk, I can tell you it is a maintenance or repair <i>fixture </i>for use by Army fifth-echelon or higher. The letter in these numbers tells a lot, F is for fixture, G for gage, W for wrench, R for reamer, etc. so troops in the field would never see one of these, but headquarters repair shops probably would. It could be for use on ordnance or vehicles, I dunno.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
