TRAINING MANUAL NUMBER 43
The Field Lineman—Instructor's Guide
The training of linemen should be pyramided on that of the basic
private. It is for this reason that this manual is next discussed. In the
preface will be found minimum specifications for Linemen, Field Artillery,
and Telephone Corporals of that arm. The Introduction gives the usual
information as to the use of the manual. The following unit operations may
be omitted for Field Artillery:
Unit Operation No. 6—The Pack Reel Cart (Type RL-16).
Unit Operation No. 7—Laying and Recovering Wire with a Type RL-
16 Reel Cart.
Unit Operation No. 8—Wire Cart, Two-horse, Infantry, Signal Corps
and Cavalry.
Unit Operation No. 12—Laying and Recovering Wire with a Two-horse
Wire Cart.
Unit Operation No. 17—The Universal Test Set, Type EE-65.
Unit Operation No. 19—The Buzzerphone Type EE-1.
Unit Operation No. 20—Ground Return and Simplex Circuits.
(Only that part of this operation relating to Simplex Circuits should
be omitted.)
Unit Operation No. 21—The Service Buzzer, Type EE-63.
(This operation can be used to advantage in those units [battalion
and higher] to which these buzzers are issued. While issued
primarily for code practice, it is believed that many communications
officers will find a use for them in the liaison detail.)
Attention should be given the proficiency test on pages 221–236, whether it
is actually used in instruction or not. It will be noted that Unit Operation No.
15, Test Stations and Test Points, and Unit Operation No. 16, Line Route Maps
and Circuit Diagrams were not omitted. While generally the Field Artillery
does not need or install such elaborate Test Stations as contemplated in
the text, the time might come when such an installation would be extremely
