Ok. It is my understanding that each class of material on DRMS has a manager responsible for deciding what the Demil classification for the material should be. When asked, the manager for the M44 trucks said that the trucks were on hold so that the meters could be Demil'd. Surely he would know why, since he was part of the decision.

The DRMS has done this dance many, many times before. They did it with watches, aircraft instruments, radio knobs and meters, aircraft circuit breakers, vacuum tubes, clocks.... PDR-27 geiger counters.... Over and over again.

The gauges in the deuce are in the same standard sizes and configurations as those used in aircraft. In aircraft, they are/were radium dial. Somehow they got the idea that there were radium dials in this series of deuces. Perhaps due to a shortage of the correct gauges, some voltmeters meant for aircraft use made it into some of these deuces?

If anybody has one on the list and wants to bring it to MD, I will check it for them, and we will know about that deuce.

If DRMS needs an inspector, I am willing to check all of the deuces on the list for $200 each plus travel expenses. I can
have it done in a week.
