This Technical Manual TM 5-6115-269-10 covers the Hol-Gar Model CE 106AC/Wk9 Generator Set, identified under FSN 6115-778-6005, and is dated April 1961. For collectors of U.S. Army technical manuals, military power-generation equipment references, Cold War support-system literature, and dated government publications, this is a strong period document tied to a specialized piece of Army utility and field-support equipment.
Because this is a -10 technical manual, it belongs to the operator-level side of Army documentation. In practical terms, manuals in this category were intended to provide official guidance for identification, operation, handling, inspection, and basic service use of the equipment covered. That makes this publication especially useful for collectors, researchers, and restorers who want original service-era documentation rather than a general reference.
The Hol-Gar Model CE 106AC/Wk9 Generator Set
The Hol-Gar Model CE 106AC/Wk9 Generator Set belongs to the broader family of military power-generation, utility, and field-support equipment. As identified by its nomenclature, it is a generator set, placing it squarely in the support side of Army operations rather than in the category of conventional weapons or combat vehicles.
Equipment in this class was associated with supplying dependable electrical power for field sites, maintenance areas, support facilities, communications equipment, shop operations, and other mission-essential systems where commercial power was unavailable or unreliable. In military service, generator sets like this were fundamental to keeping installations and mobile operations running.
For collectors, that makes this manual especially interesting because it documents the technical side of Cold War military support equipment rather than more commonly seen combat hardware. It also has strong crossover appeal for anyone interested in military generators, utility equipment, and U.S. Army field-support systems. The inclusion of FSN 6115-778-6005 adds cataloging value for collectors who prefer manuals with a specific government stock-number reference rather than only general nomenclature.
What This Manual Covers
As a -10 technical manual, TM 5-6115-269-10 would have been intended to support the official Army use of the Hol-Gar Model CE 106AC/Wk9 Generator Set.
In practical terms, a manual like this is especially relevant for:
That makes it useful not only as a collectible, but also as a practical reference for anyone studying how the Army documented generator and utility-support equipment during the early Cold War period.
Historical Significance
The date April 1961 places this publication in the early Cold War period, when the U.S. military maintained extensive technical literature covering not only weapons and vehicles, but also the utility and support equipment required to sustain field operations. Manuals like this reflect a period when Army documentation extended into every part of the logistical chain, including generator sets, maintenance tools, utility systems, and field-support infrastructure.
For collectors and historians, this manual is especially relevant to subjects such as:
Because it covers a specialized generator set rather than a more common tactical vehicle or weapon system, it also adds variety to collections that already include standard ordnance or maintenance manuals.
About This Manual
This listing is for Technical Manual TM 5-6115-269-10 for the Hol-Gar Model CE 106AC/Wk9 Generator Set, identified under FSN 6115-778-6005 and dated April 1961.
It is especially well suited for:
Because manuals were working documents, surviving examples are valued not only for their content, but also for their connection to real military operation, training, and support practice.
Why This Manual Matters
Many military manuals focus on the primary weapon, vehicle, or combat platform. This one documents the support side of military readiness, specifically a generator set used to provide dependable electrical power in military environments. That makes it especially useful for collectors who want to preserve the broader technical and logistical picture of Army operations rather than only front-line hardware.
For collectors, it is a solid stand-alone Cold War technical manual with a specialized subject focus. For researchers, it offers a useful reference point for Army generator documentation and field power support history. For museums, it helps explain the behind-the-scenes systems that supported communications, maintenance, facilities, and operational readiness.
