Naval Shore Electronics Criteria: Installations Standards & Practices - NAVELEX 0101,110 - June 1972

   This Installation Standards and Practices Handbook, one of a series of Naval Shore Electronics Criteria Handbooks, is provided for the information and guidance of personnel concerned with the installation, maintenance, and, to a limited extent , operation of electronic equipment. The handbook is specifically directed to the level of the installation planner and "leading man".
   The handbook represents installation practices compiled from both commercial and military sources. These practices are considered to be generally acceptable and are the recommended methods and techniques for the accomplishment of electronic equipment installations at Naval Shore Electronic Facilities.
    It is recognized that installation techniques improve with experience and as our knowledge increases. Advances in the state of the art and industrial technology result in improved devices, methods, and tools . Therefore, users of this handbook are encouraged to submit recommendations for improvement so that this handbook may continue to be useful to the maximum extent possible.
   Throughout this handbook the reader will find reference to many tables and figures. To facilitate locating them, they have been grouped at the end of the chapter in which they are first identified.
