59. Spare parts and accessories.— a. The allowance of spare parts, supplies. and accessories is prescribed from time to time by
the War Department. A printed list of the contents of the spare-parts box was pasted inside the cover of some of the boxes when
issued. This list, however, is partially obsolete, and a new correct list to conform to the allowances prescribed in current orders
should be typewritten and pasted on the top of the box.
b. The spare-parts box is intended to provide the gun squad with immediate replacement of servicable parts for those which become defective in the gun in use. It should, therefore, be kept complete at all times with its contents in good condition. Parts carried complete, such as spare bolt, should at all times be correctly assembled and ready for immediate insertion in the gun. All parts should be kept in the fabric envelopes or containers to prevent loss. Whenever a part is taken from the box to replace a defevtive part in the gun, notation should be made in the gun record. The defective part should be repaired or a new one substituted in the spare-parts box as soon as possible.

Spare Parts and Accessories
Spare Parts and Accessories
22. Spare parts. Certain spare parts are authorized for issue with the heavy machine gun, as listed on page 24, Ord.
Dept. Standard Nomenclature List No. A"5. These parts are habitually carried in the spare parts chest in Infantry or
Artillery organizations, and in the prescribed spare parts roll of Cavalry machine gun units. It is intended that this set of
spare parts be immediately available for replacements as they are needed, and the set must be kept complete and in
good condition at all times. All issued parts are habitually kept clean, lightly oiled, and in their prescribed containers. A
tendency to replace worn parts from this set, and put the worn part in the set is to be discouraged. A part badly worn
should be plainly marked, and replacement by a serviceable part from the Ordnance Department done at the earliest
possible opportunity, the new part being placed in the spare parts set. Frequent inspection of the spare parts sets for
completeness, and for condition, is recommended. The following extract of SNLA-5, may be used to check the
