[R-390] Bar coded R-390A parts (was Gulf War Debate)

[joldenburg2 at new.rr.com]

According to Wikipeda:
In 1981, the United States Department of Defense adopted the use of Code 39 for marking all products sold to the United States military. This system, Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols (LOGMARS), is still used by DoD and is widely viewed as the catalyst for widespread adoption of barcoding in industrial uses.

That and the 1993 contract dates support some Gov'mt use in the 1990's/

I don't know when the Army started using bar codes but I'm pretty sure it's well after 1967.
