Engineering Standardization Study of Wire Terminals

This paper discusses the problems encountered in military maintenance useage of electrical wire terminations commonly called "Terminal Lugs". After a discussion of the problems, this paper then explains the results of a remedial study made by the AFLC and the RCA. Bar graphs are presented showing survey results of lug useage in relation to most used type. Resulting proposed dimensions will not only ease engineering and interchangeability problems but should show a monetary savings to the tax-payer. Limited copies of proposed dimensions at presentation or by request from W. R. Luebben
