[MRCA] VIC-3 TM's sought

[Robert Downs]

Eugene,

 

Sorry, but I checked and don't have anything on the AN/VIC-3.  But I wanted
to point out a couple of errors in those TM numbers.

 

There should not be a hyphen between TM and 11.  There should be a space.
And there should be neither a hyphen nor a space between 20 and P.  Most
search engines today are poorly designed and just ignore punctuation marks
entirely (one of the things that I hate about eBay).  But the real numbers
for the two manuals are:

 

TM 11-5830-263-10

TM 11-5830-263-20P

 

I will also mention that although most people think of a TM 11 manual number
ending in -35 as the Depot manual, that isn't really correct.  -35 means
Direct Support, General Support and Depot.  An actual Depot manual ends in
-50.  But there are very few of them to be found.  And further, -15, -25,
-35, -45 (I have never seen one) and -50 would be valid numbers and would
contain what you would expect them to contain.  Plus some.  Also, if one
were to re-number most of the TM 11's printed before early 1946, they would
end in -15&P .

 

Anyway, if I were searching for VIC-3 manuals, I would search for
11-5830-263- which would catch the -14's, -24's and -34's that became more
common in the 1970's.

Subject: [MRCA] VIC-3 TM's sought

 

Hello friends,

 

I am looking for any/all documentation on the VIC-3 system. Some TM numbers
that come up in searches include:

TM-11-5830-263-10

TM-11-5830-263-20-P

 

And any others  you may be familiar with. Those two referenced above can be
found on the internet but in a very difficult to use format of one html page
for each page of the manual. I am hoping to get a PDF of the entire manual.

 

I would also be interested in paper manuals. Again, the two mentioned above
are just two I found on the internet, there may be others. What have you?!

thanks
