NOTE
Stenciling should be used whenever possible. A ball-point pen or felt tip marker should be
used only where stenciling is not possible, or when stenciling devices are not available.
However, only felt tip markers that contain parachute marking ink and marked "FOR

point-pen using black or blue ink may be used for marking on labels only.
Original stenciled data or marking that becomes faded, illegible, obliterated, or are
removed as a result of performing a repair procedure will be remarked with a ball-point
pen, felt tip marker, or restenciled. All marking or restenciling will be done on or as near
as possible to the original location and should conform to the original lettering type and
