8 For each item of materiel, there are illus-trations and descriptions together with charac-teristics and related data ,Included in therelated data are weights, dimensions, perform-ance data , packing, shipping and storage data ,Classification, and logistics control codes (LCC).b. Information concerning supply opera-tion, and maintenance of the items will befound in the publications referenced for thoseitems, A complete listing of these publications ismaintained in DA Pam 310 series Within this MANUAL , items with the fol-lowing type-classifications are included:(1) Standard (LCC-A), (LCC-B),(2) Contingency (CON).(3) Limited Procurement (LP).(4) Reclassified obsolete (OBS) for regu-lar army use, but used by National Guard orReserve units.(5) Reclassified OBS for all army use,but used by Marine Corps, Air Force or NavyItems with the following type-classification arenot included: Reclassified OBS for all US.

9 Use,No stocks remain. (Foreign use or stockmay remain).d. Numerical values, such as weights,dimensions, candlepower, etc., are nominal val-ues, except when specified as maximum or mini-mum. Actual items may vary slightly fromthese values, Allowable limits can be obtainedfrom the drawings indicated in the data Metric Conversion ChartFor approximate conversions to/from metricmeasures see table Quantity-Distance Classes andStorage Compatibility GroupsQuantity-Distance (QD) classes and StorageCompatibility Groups (SCG) listed in this man-ual are changed, For conversion to new systemsee table 43-0001-38 Table 1-1.
