two digits of the WP number shall identify the SWPs. SWPs shall be numbered 01 through 99, as required.
There shall be two spaces between the WP number and SWP number, e.g., SWP 007 05. There shall be
one space between "WP" or "SWP" and the WP number, e.g., SWP 007. The Alphabetical Index WP shall
always be the irst WP in the manual and assigned the number 001 00. Foreword WP shall always be the
second WP in the manual and assigned the number 002 00. Master List of Special Tools, Test Equipment,
and Consumables shall always be the third WP in the manual and assigned the number 003 00. The fourth
and subsequent WPs in the manual shall be numbered 004 00 through 997 00 as required.
Print presentation: The WP/SWP number shall be immediately below the TM identiication number.
Electronic presentation: The WP/SWP number shall be placed in an area to make it persistently visible.
3.3.4.1 Numbering of added WP/SWPs. Addition of new WP/SWPs within the manual (that cannot be
logically added at the end of the sequence) shall be avoided whenever possible. When such additions are
required, numbering of the added WP/SWPs shall be as shown in the following examples:
a. A new WP added between existing WP 027 00 and WP 028 00 would be numbered WP 27A 00.
b. A new SWP added between existing SWP 036 12 and 036 13 would be numbered 036 12A
with only one space between 036 and 12A.
c. A new SWP added between existing SWP 017A 14 and 017A 15 of a previously added WP
would be numbered 017A14A. This method of numbering utilizes the two (2) blank spaces that
normally separates the three (3) digit WP number from the two (2) digit SWP number, yet
sustains the seven (7) digit ield allowed for the overall WP/SWP number.
3.3.5 Numbering of igures, tables, and pages. Figures, tables, shall each be numbered consecutively,

accordance with the requirements of MIL-STD-38784.
3.3.7 Assignment of WP/SWP titles. Titles shall be assigned with full consideration of the effect they
may have on easy, rapid access to data. The name of the object or equipment shall precede the
modiier. A title such as Compressor Inlet Variable Vane Control and Cylinder may cause the reader
unnecessary time in attempting to retrieve the information needed. A more effective title would be Control
and Cylinder, Variable Vane, Compressor Inlet.
3.3.8 Text content. Collectively, the WP/SWPs shall provide all essential information required to operate,
maintain, and support the equipment for which these manuals are prepared. Text shall be complemented by
appropriate illustrations to the extent necessary for complete coverage and understanding. Emphasis shall be
placed on the speciic steps of the maintenance procedures to be followed, the results which may be
expected or desired, and the corrective measures required when such results are not obtained. Procedures
requiring a team of specialists for accomplishment of maintenance tasks shall have the tasks of these
individuals designated separately in sequence of required accomplishment. Use of warnings, cautions, and
notes shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-38784.
3.3.8.1 Paragraphs. Paragraphs shall be consecutively numbered in accordance with MIL-STD-38784 except
chapter number preix shall be omitted. Paragraph titling shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-38784 except
only primary sideheads must be titled.
3.3.8.2 Nomenclature. Nomenclature shall be in accordance with of MIL-STD-38784. Consistency shall be
maintained between nomenclature in text, callouts on illustrations on the irst occurrence of an equipment
item, and the nomenclature in Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) manuals. Nomenclature corresponding to
that appearing on the equipment in decals, engraved legends, nameplates, or other markings shall be repeated
verbatim on the irst occurrence. On subsequent occasions, if there is no other name with which it might be
confused, the nomenclature may be shortened. For example, the external main power switch may be called
the power switch if no other switch has been mentioned or illustrated on the same illustration. Simple
identifying nomenclature may be provided for attaching parts in both pictorial callouts and text, such as
lower attaching bolts. All hardware items involved in a task shall be speciically mentioned. Terminology
