when used for small wiring terminals. All nuts and pins shall be
adequately locked.

39.3 Wherever possible, bolts shall be fitted in such a manner that

in the event of failure of locking resulting in the nuts working
loose and falling off, the bolt will remain in position.

39.4 All ferrous bolts, nuts and washers placed in outdoor positions

surfaces and where water can collect, methods of preventing the
ingress of moisture to the threads shall be provided. Each bolt or
stud shall project at least one thread but not more than three
threads through the nut, except when otherwise approved for
terminal board studs or relay stems. If bolts nuts are placed so
that they are inaccessible by means of ordinary spanners, special
spanners shall be provided. The length of the screwed portion of the
bolts shall be such that no screw thread may form part of a shear
place between members. Taper washers shall be provided where
necessary. Protective washers of suitable material shall be
provided front and back on the securing screws.

40.0 LABELS
40.1 All apparatus shall be clearly labelled indicating, where
necessary, its purpose and service positions. The material of all
labels and plates, their dimensions, legend and the method of
printing shall be subject to approval of the Purchaser. The
surfaces of all labels and plates shall have a mat or satin finish to
avoid dazzle from reflected light. Colours shall be permanent and
free from fading. Labels mounted on black surfaces shall have
white lettering. Danger plates shall have white lettering on a red
background. All labels and plates for outdoor use shall be of in-
corrodible material. Where the use of enameled iron plates is
approved, the whole surface including the back and edges, shall be
properly covered and resistant to corrosion. They shall be engraved in
English. Name plates shall be white with black engraved lettering
and shall carry all the applicable information specified in the
applicable items of the Standards. No scratching, corrections or
changes will be allowed on name plates.

40.2 Name plates shall be provided of white background with

black engraved lettering carrying all the applicable information

specified in the standards and other details as required by the

Purchaser. The name plate inscription and the size and lettering shall
be submitted to the Purchaser for approval.
