[Collins] Shipping Advice Request

[Robert Jefferis]

George,

I have been on the receiving end of quite a few S-line shipments in the last few years. Your schema is good, save one point: If the 516F-2 is in a cabinet, the power supply should be removed so the cabinet and power supply may shipped separately. The supply is just too heavy for the cabinet in a shipping environment, and can badly bend (distort) the enclosure if any g forces are applied during shipment. Yes, by all means remove the 5R4 and 5U4 tubes.
