These relays, when not shipped as a part of a control panel, will be shipped in cartons designed to

protect them against damage. Immediately upon receipt of the rel ay, an examination should be made

for any damage sus tai ned during shipment. If injury or damage resulting from rough handling is

evident, a damage claim should be filed at once with the transportation company and the nearest

General Electric Sales Office should be notified promptly.

nor the adjustments disturbed.

If the relays are not to be installed immediately, they should be stored in their original cartons in a

place that is free from moisture, dust, and metallic chips. Foreign matter collected on the outside of
