Care should be taken in plugging the three holes lying on the circumference of the heavy black circle (1.25 inches diameter), as this circle is to be depressed or recessed 1.875 inches and the plugs should fit tightly. This large hole will hold a steel punch for piercing web equipment. Next bore new holes where shown in heavy black circles, locating them where indicated and to the sizes shown. The lid of box will be altered in the same manner as the body. The large depression in lid to allow for the upper end of steel punch should be the same depth as the depression which it joins. Next locate accurately and bore the three holes in anvils where indicated. These holes are to facilitate the necessary marking of letters and numbers on metal marking tags, and will allow the three tags to enter anvil and lie flat. [457.8, A. G.

PLUGGED HOLES SHOWN CROSSHATCHED MARKING OUTFIT MODEL OF 1910 SKETCH SHOWING METHOD OF CHANGING CHEST BULLETIN No. 21. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, June 24, 1919. Section. I II Status of Regular Army officers upon discharge from emergency commission---- Publication of degrees in Army Register---. I__Status of Regular Army officers upon discharge from emergency commission.-Inquiry has been made as to the rank of a Regular Army officer discharged from his emergency commission, it being suggested that such an officer assumes the rank next below that from which he was discharged, if that is higher than his permanent rank. This is an error. A Regular Army officer holding an emergency commission in one grade vacates it upon accepting an emergency commission in another grade, and upon discharge therefrom he reverts to his permanent rank in the Regular Army. [210.723, A. G. O.] II__Publication of degrees in Army Register.-In publishing in the Official Army Register the degrees received by officers upon graduation from universities, colleges, and various civil institutions, the following rules will be observed: 1. The graduation of officers from the following civil institutions only will be noted: a. Institutions listed in the Directory of Universities and Colleges, published by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (omitting junior colleges). b. Foreign institutions of university grade. c. Schools of law, theology, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy which confer degrees. 2. No officer will be listed as a graduate of an institution unless he has received a degree, except in the case of those institutions listed in the Bureau of Education's directory, the completion of whose regular collegiate course is not recognized by the award of a degree. 3. Honorary degrees will be noted, but will be indicated as honorary. 4. Graduation from the several service schools will be shown as heretofore. 124044-19. |
