Quote Let’s say someone has a Great Idea™ that they want to fit an autoloader into the T30 Heavy Tank. They kick it up the chain, and the project gets approved. The end goal’s nomenclature is “Tank, Heavy T30E1”, but the Army doesn’t work that way. The Dept of the Army assigned it the project number 545-07-005, probably to track the funds. Somewhere along the line, as a new tank model, it got assigned to the Ordnance Branch. The Ordnance Branch gave it the internal project number TT2-479C. Why TT2-479C? Because it came after TT2-479B of course! So even after you find the document stating that TT2-479C is the T30E1, you have to find the document cross-linking with the Dept of the Army project number. Got a box ID for that? No? Hmm…
The_Chieftain: Such a document may exist, but I haven't come across it yet. That
said, have you seen the Aberdeen test resumes? Some good info on
these, at least it lists pretty much every test Aberdeen conducted
with a two-line summary of the result. We've found it very useful
in discovering if a test was even done. Unfortunately, just because
a test is listed, doesn't mean the report still exists or is easy
to find. Unfortunately, I've only been able to track down these
three volumes. 1,
