     The color codes on the preceding and two
following pages are used by most radio and
instrument manufacturers in the wiring of
their products, and by parts manufacturers
for identifying lead placement or resistor and
capacitor values, ratings, and tolerances.
These have been included for whatever help
they may provide in identifying parts and
    leads when trouble-shooting.  Since all manu-
facturers do not use these codes, however, due
caution must be observed to determine whether
or not the set, instrument, or part under ex-
amination does or does not follow the code
colors given here.  A quick check with a volt-
meter, ohmmeter, or continuity meter is usu-
ally all that is needed to establish this fact.
