Shown above is an example of a typical page
header, the header which can be found on every technical bulletin
displays a number of important pieces of information. The type
of machine which the bulletin is intended for can be found under
the main title. Each bulletin has its own individual reference
number this is shown as TB No. in the header. This number should
be quoted in all correspondance concerning the bulletin. The date
of issue of the bulletin is also shown.
The body of the bulletin is used to explain
the area for which the bulletin has been issued for, the main
advantages of why it should be carried out and the applicability
of the bulletin to machines. The applicability to machines will
include the machine name, and the serial numbers from which the
developments were fitted as standard. Some machines will have
been fitted retrofitted with a number of the developments, and
hence the machines in question should be checked for status before
ordering.
Listed below are
the categories that a particular bulletin falls into.
Each category will give a good idea as
to the importance of each particular bulletin, and clear up about
who should act on
the information details in the case of information bulletins.
