scope:

This standard addresses the official DoD formats, tabulating cards, hollerith codifications, and data field tabulations related to engineering data.

The tabulated data (cards) are used to store, reproduce, distribute, and interchange official engineering data. The selected format is at the option of each services' procuring activity.

The identification of the cards that are addressed in this standard are:

DD Form 1309 - Model or Type Designation Card. An example is provided at Figure 1.

DD Form 1310 - Part and Drawing Number Card. An example is provided at Figure 2.
