12. WAR DEPARTMENT LUtiRICATION ORDERS.<br />
(WDLO) (List in par. 34). a. General. War De-<br />
partment Lubrication Orders ( WDLO’s) are serially-<br />
numbered and dated cards or decakomania labels<br />
which prescribe approved first and second echelon<br />
lubrication instructions for mechanical equipment<br />
issued by, ‘the Army Service Forces. They will be<br />
carried with or attached to,the equipment to which<br />
they. pertain. Instructions contained therein are<br />
mandatory to using troops and supersede all conk<br />
flitting lubrication instructions of prior date. Unit<br />
<strong>com</strong>manders are responsible for obtaining, install-<br />
ing, and fully <strong>com</strong>plying with ail current WDLO’q<br />
that are applicable to equipment within their <strong>com</strong>-<br />
mands. Difficulties experienced in the performance<br />
of these responsibilities will be reported through<br />
technical channels to the Commanding General,<br />
Army Serqice Forces, Attention : Maintenance Di-<br />
vision. See Paragraph 34 for <strong>com</strong>plete list of WDLO’s<br />
that are available for issue, and follow requisition-<br />
ing instructionsin Paragraphs l2b, 12c, and 23.<br />
b. Old-Style Lubrication Orders. Old-style WDLO’s<br />
are classed-as equipment accessories and are manu-<br />
fabtured, stocked and issued by each of the seven<br />
technical services of Army Service Forces. Their<br />
physical form may be either a 10 x 15 inch steel-<br />
bound waterproofed card, or a temporary-type card-<br />
board, or a decal<strong>com</strong>ania transfer label. Those old-<br />
styie WDLO’s that are listed in Paragraph 34 may<br />
be‘ readily identified, and the responsible technical<br />
service determined, by referring their serial num-<br />
hers to the following table. Examples of old-style<br />
serial numbers: 151, 1026, 3040, 6001, 6009, ‘7003.<br />
Old-style lubrication orders are not usually issued<br />
automatically and must be, requisitioned from the<br />
technical service depots shown in the table. Informal<br />
letters that list the serial number, issue date, and<br />
quantity desired will be honored by issuing agencies.<br />
Although old-style lubrication orders will be super-<br />
seded as rapidly as possible by the new-style de-<br />
scribed in Paragraph 12b, the former should con-<br />
tinue to be requested and used until the new-style<br />
replacements are received or are listed in Paragraph<br />
34.<br />
c. New ‘- .Style Lubrication Orders. New - style<br />
WDLQ’s are classed ,as expendable publications<br />
which are prepared by the responsible technical services,<br />
but are published and automatically distributed<br />
by The Adjutant General. Their physical form will<br />
be either a simple card or a decal<strong>com</strong>ania transfer<br />
label. Those new-style WDLO’s that are listed in<br />
Paragraph 34 may be readily identified by means<br />
of their distinctive serial numbers which are pre<br />
ceded by the ‘letters “LO” and which not only identify<br />
the preparing service (See Paragraph 13a) but<br />
usually correspond to the number of the corresponding<br />
technical manuals. Examples of new-style serial<br />
numbers : LO 9-772, LO 5-3112, LO 3-626, LO 8-629.<br />
Since automatic distribution can never be <strong>com</strong>plete, j<br />
necessary additional quantities of new-style WDLO’s :<br />
should be. requisitioned<br />
graph 23.<br />
in conformance with Parac<br />
d. Since new and old-style WDLO’s are furnished<br />
by separate agencies, no requisition should contain<br />
requests for both types.<br />
