 FOREWORD.

The marking of the ammunition used by the United

States Army follows the following general system:
Detailed information not needed in storage, issue,
and use is obtained by reference through the lot num-
ber to the ammunition data card.
~ An ammunition lot contains only projectiles of the
"--" same weight zone and in fixed ammunition only one
powder lot.
General type of projectile filler is denoted by solid
,color. Special charactepsttcs of a given type are
indicated by color bands. Important additional in-
formation is indicated by stenciling, ~ncluding the
mark number which is the key to the range table.
Essential identification which might be destroyed
as stenciled is also stamped. I
Machining and inspection data are stamped.
Departures from the general system are at times
inevitable, but are made as few as possible.
The plates which follow illustrate the present author-
ir.ed markings. Original plates are numbered numerically
as issued, regardless of subject, and dated, and should be
arranged in the binder as most convenient for reference
...
and use. Revised plates will be given the numbers of
"-" . the plates they supersede. Lists will be issued from time
to time giving the outstanding numbers and original or
latest revision dates of all active plates.
Any ammunition on hand which is not marked in accord-
ance with this pamphlet should be reported to the Chief
of Ordnance with full detail of actual'markings and amount
of ammunition so marked.
