MIL-HDBK-57C (IS), LISTING OF FASTENER MANUFACTURER;S IDENTIFICATION SYMBOLS (5 APR 2007)., This handbook is a compilation of the identifying symbols of fastener manufacturers as provided
by the manufacturers themselves. This issue contains the names, addresses, and the symbols of all
fastener manufacturers whose identifying symbols were received by 30 November, 2006. Each
manufacturer who was listed in Revision B of this document was contacted to confirm the accuracy of the
published information. We have annotated the listing to indicate those manufacturers that have
responded to confirm or update appropriate information. The listing also annotates which manufacturers
have not responded. Information about manufacturers who have not responded is still maintained in this
latest revision. For the purpose of this handbook, a manufacturer is defined as the source which
substantially makes the supplies, either by hand or machinery out of raw materials. Fasteners, as defined
for the purpose of this handbook, refer to those threaded items included in Federal Supply Class (FSC)
5305 – Screws, 5306 – Bolts, 5307 – Studs, and 5310 – Nuts. As additional manufacturers submit their
markings, the handbook will be updated.

MIL-HDBK-59B, MILITARY HANDBOOK CONTINUOUS ACQUISITION and LIFE-CYCLE SUPPORT (CALS) IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE. Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support (CALS) is a Department of Defense (DoD) and industry
strategy to enable more effective generation, exchange, management, and use of digital data supporting
defense systems. The primary goal of the CALS strategy is to migrate from manual, paper-intensive
defense system operations to integrated, highly automated acquisition and support processes. This handbook provides information and guidance for applying the CALS strategy
to the acquisition, management, and use of digital data in accordance with (IAW) DoD Instruction
(DoDI) 5000.2. The primary focus of this handbook is the acquisition of digital data products and
information services in support of defense systems. It addresses:
a. CALS strategy;
b. CALS policy;
c. Acquisition process guidance;
d. Special considerations for existing defense systems; and
e. DoD infrastructure modernization-Joint CALS (JCALS).

and the Federal Aviation Administration. This is the last planned edition of MIL-HDBK-5. MIL-HDBK-
5J is equivalent to MMPDS-01, the first edition of the Metallic Material Properties Development and
Standardization Handbook, which is maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA plans
to publish annual updates and revisions to the MMPDS. As a result, MIL-HDBK-5J is scheduled to be
reclassifed as noncurrent in the Spring of 2004. It will be superseded at that time by the MMPDS
Handbook. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the
contractor does not have to comply.

MIL-HDBK-61A (SE), MILITARY HANDBOOK, CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE. This military handbook provides guidance and information to DoD acquisition managers, logistics managers, and other individuals assigned responsibility for Configuration Management. Its purpose is to assist them in planning for
and implementing effective DoD configuration management activities and practices during all life cycle phases of
defense systems and configuration items. It supports acquisition based on performance specifications, and the use of industry standards and methods to the greatest practicable extent. This handbook is closely related to the following Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) Standards: ANSI/EIA-649-1998, “National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management,” AND EIA-836, "Consensus Standard for Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability," AND ANSI/EIA-632-1998, “Processes for Engineering a System.”

MIL-HDBK-62, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK DOCUMENTATION OF DIGITAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS WITH VHDL (13 SEP 1996)., This handbook was developed to provide guidance to Department of Defense personnel who are writing requests
for proposals for military digital electronic systems, DoD contractors who are developing very high-speed
integrated circuit (VHSIC) hardware description language (VHDL) models for the Government, and DoD engineers,
scientists, and management or independent validation and verification contractors who are evaluating or reviewing
models delivered to the Government. It documents the state of the art and existing technologies for VHDL
model development. Addressed in the handbook are which VHDL models are required to be delivered with a contract,
which VHDL models should be developed during the different stages of the lifetime of a system, and how
VHDL models can be structured to be consistent with modeling standards.

MIL-HDBK-7B, MILITARY HANDBOOK LUMBER AND ALLIED PRODUCTS (6 AUG 1982)., lumber and wood products normally procured in considerable quantity for
Department of Defense installations. Engineers are particular directed to the
chapters dealing with strength of wood, preservative treatment, and moisture
c o n t e n t . The chapters dealing with storage handling, tallying, inspection,
grading, and sizes were written with the problems of inspectors, stock handlers,
and supply clerks in mind. All of these chapters prove useful to the
requisition writer by providing references useful in determining which species,
q u a l i t i e s , and sizes of lumber, plywood, poles, railroad ties, and other wood
products are usable for a given end use. This handbook also provides ready
reference to the physical and mechanical properties of lumber products and the
conditions of use that require special treatment with preservatives, fire
r e t a r d a n t s , or special surfacing and machining.
It is the primary purpose of this handbook to provide the kind of background
information needed in making necessary decisions on all such problems. This
type of information is not readily available elsewhere in a form directly
related to supply problems involving lumber and allied products. To the extent
that this handbook achieves its primary purpose, it is believed that important
economies can be effected, greater assurance secured that the needed species,
q u a l i t i e s , q u a n t i t i e s , and sizes will be received, and requisitioning procedures
f a c i l i t a t e d .
The handbook also has as part of its purpose to provide information on the
handling, storage, and use of wood products to the end that better service will
be obtained at less cost. The large quantities of wood products normally
required by the various branches of the Department of Defense make economy of
use just as essential as economical procurement; failure in the one can quickly
offset any gains realized through success in the other. Moreover, proper
handling, storage, and use are essential in the interest of conservation of the
forest resources.
