Each instrument has a serial number on a panel insert, tag,

or stamped on the chassis. The first number or letter

designates the country of manufacture. The last five digits

of the serial number are assigned sequentially and are

unique to each instrument. Those manufactured in the

United states have six unique digits. The country of

manufacture is identified as follows:
