C-4 Explanation of columns (Sect. IV).

a. NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER (NSN) INDEX.

(1) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN by National item identification number

(NIIN) sequence. The NIIN consists of the last nine digits of the NSN (i.e., NSN 5305-01-674-1467-NIIN).

When using this column to locate an item, ignore the first 4 digits of the NSN. However, the complete NSN

should be used when ordering items by stock number.

(2) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located.

The figures are in numerical order in Section II and Section Ill.

(3) ITEM column. The item number identifies the item associated with the figure listed in the adja-

cent Fig. column. This item is also identified by the NSN listed on the same line.

b. PART NUMBER INDEX. Part numbers in this index are listed by part number in ascending

alphanumeric sequence (i.e., vertical arrangement of letter and number combination which places the first let-

ter or digit of each group in order A through Z, followed by the numbers 0 through 9 and each following let-

ter or digit in like order).

(1) FSCM column. The Federal Supply Code for Manufacturer (FSCM) is a 5-digit numeric code

used to identify the manufacturer distributor, or Government agency, etc., that supplies the item.

(2) PART NUMBER column. Indicates the primary number used by the manufacturer (individual,

firm, corporation, or Government activity), which controls the design and characteristics of the item by

means of its engineering drawings, specifications standards, and inspection requirements to identify an item

or range of items.

(3) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN for the associated part number and

manufacturer identified in the PART NUMBER and FSCM columns to the left.

(4) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located in

Section II and Ill.

(5) ITEM column. The item number is that number assigned to the item as it appears in the figure

referenced in the adjacent figure number column.

shown in the item number column. This index number is a cross-reference between the National Stock

Number/Part Number Index and the bulk material list in Section Il.
