Black hands in TM's

[danjrofpa]

Can someone tell me what the little black hands in the TM's represent?

Two of the three hands in the 60 Hz schematic of the MEP-003A in TM5-6115-585-34 point out the "double fault" problem with the jumper and 120V-only operation, so I assumed that in general they point out things that are mentioned in the text. It would have been nice if labels had been put next to the hands to tie them to what they refer to though.

I believe that they point out changes to the manual.

I'll bet there are black lines in the margins also...

...TM 5-6115–585–34/NAVFACP-8–623–34n0-35 C2-3-455-2/TM-05684C/05685B-34, 25 July 1977, is
changed as follows:
1. Remove and insert pages as indicated below. Page 1–10.1/(1–10.2 blank) was changed in Change 7;
however, the Change transmittal sheet inadvertently omitted instructions to remove the original page
1–10.1/(1-10.2 blank) before inserting the change page. The Change 7 page 1–10.1/(1–10.2 blank) also did not
include any change indicators or number. To eliminate any confusion, therefore, as to which page should be used,
the most current page is included in Change 9; the change indicated by the miniature pointing hand was included in Change 7, but was not indicated by a pointing hand...

Wow.

Must have gotten paid by the word.
