responsible owner/user enters the date of receipt and identity of the receiving unit on

the reverse side of the associated DA Form 3023 in the columns entitled "date issued"

and "issued to," respectively. The owner/user retains the form as an inventory control

the date and technician's name in the block titled - Actual Gage Dimensions.

required.

(9) Gages that are equipped with a wear check, or master gage, shall be

inspected by the user as frequently as deemed necessary by the application of the

furnished standard. Such inspections need not be recorded on the DA Form 3023. When

such inspection indicates an unserviceable condition, complete gage and standard will

be turned in for condition confirmation and disposal. However, such wear checks or

master gages must be calibrated at intervals not to exceed 12 months.

(10) The gages should be cleaned with solvent (MIL-C-372) or with a clean, dry

cloth. After cleaning, the gages should be preserved using a light oil. Type P-9 of

specification VV-L-800C is recommended; if not available, any clean, light oil may be
