Description
Technical Manual Change 2 (TM 9-1220-203-34) for M13, M13A1, M13A1C, M13A1D, M13A2, and M13B1C Ballistic Computers May 1970
This listing is for Change 2 to Technical Manual TM 9-1220-203-34, dated May 1970. It applies to the maintenance manual for the M13, M13A1, M13A1C, M13A1D, M13A2, and M13B1C ballistic computers.
Change 2 supplements the base edition dated 31 January 1963. It should be kept with that manual so the technical-manual set includes the later Army update.
Historical Significance
This change notice comes from the Cold War period, when ballistic computers were part of U.S. Army fire-control maintenance programs. The six covered M13-series models show how one technical-manual family supported several related equipment configurations.
Issued more than seven years after the base edition, Change 2 documents the continued revision of this manual family into 1970. Military change notices preserve updates released after a manual first entered circulation and are important parts of the publication record.

This publication is a Change 2 update, not the complete base manual. It is intended for use with TM 9-1220-203-34 dated 31 January 1963. The exact replacement pages and technical changes should be confirmed from the physical change notice.
