Bradley bits & tips.Dear Editor, While helping to keep the Bradleys running here, we've come up with a few tips that will help Bradley crews everywhere. * Verify the M242 gun's feeder timing for both HE and AP feed paths every time you install it, like it says in the Bradley-10 TMs. We run into crews who don't realize the importance of that. If the Feeder's timing isn't verified For both feed paths, the gun may not fire and the feeder could jam. * Don't worry about the shorting plug on the new reduced white smoke Bradley engine. It's not needed. Some units are installing plugs from old engines on the new ones. * Jot down Verb 1. jot down - write briefly or hurriedly; write a short note of jot write - communicate or express by writing; "Please write to me every week" the NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never for the new engine compartment fire extinguisher fire extinguisher: see fire fighting. : NSN 4210-01-388-7854. * Remember voltage differences. The Operation Desert Storm Noun 1. Operation Desert Storm - the United States and its allies defeated Iraq in a ground war that lasted 100 hours (1991) Gulf War, Persian Gulf War - a war fought between Iraq and a coalition led by the United States that freed Kuwait from Iraqi invaders; (ODS (Operational Data Store) A database designed for queries on transactional data. An ODS is often an interim or staging area for a data warehouse, but differs in that its contents are updated in the course of business, whereas a data warehouse contains static data. ) Bradley version requires 27-30 volts to recharge the batteries. But the old voltage gauge shows over 29 as overcharging. If your ODS Bradley gauge shows in the red, get your mechanic to make sure it's not charging more than 30 volts. * Repairmen, let the transmission warm up to 180-220[degrees]F before adjusting it. That will probably take 45 minutes if the Bradley has been sitting. If you try to adjust the transmission sooner, the transmission oil could be too thick, which would cause a bad adjustment. A bad adjustment could cause the Bradley to pull to one side or lunge Forward or backward unexpectedly. * Keep in mind that TM 9-2350-284-24P-1 is for both the ODS and--A2 Bradley. So you need to pay attention to usable on codes (UOC UOC Universitat Oberta de Catalunya UOC University of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand) UOC Usable On Code UOC Ultimate One-Chip (Philips Semiconductor) ) when you order parts or you could end up with something like a skirt that doesn't work on your Bradley version.
