1.10 EXPLANATION OF CHANGE SYMBOLS.
Changes to the text and tables, including new material on
added pages, shall be identified by a vertical bar in the
outer margin of the column of text in which the change ap-
pears, extending close to the entire area of the material
affected. Change symbols for single column text shall be
placed in the margin opposite the binding. Change sym-
bols for double column text shall be placed in the margin
adjacent to the binding for the columns of text nearest the
binding. The change symbols shall be placed in the outer
margin opposite the binding for the column of text farthest
from the binding. Pages with emergency markings, which
consist of black diagonal lines around three edges, shall
have the vertical bar or change symbol placed in the mar-
gin between the text and the diagonal lines. Change sym-
bols shall indicate the current changes only. A miniature
pointing hand symbol shall be used to denote a change to
an illustration. However, a vertical line in the outer margin
(opposite the binding) rather than miniature pointing
hands, shall be utilized when there have been extensive
changes made to an illustration. Change symbols shall
not be used to indicate changes in the following:
a. Introductory material.
b. Indexes and tabular data where the change cannot
be identified.
c. Correction of minor inaccuracies, such as spelling,
punctuation, relocation of material, etc., unless such
correction changes the meaning of the instructive infor-
mation and procedures.
