[Only those machinery and structural units listed below] [Each machinery
and structural unit furnished] shall be assembled in the shop to determine
the correctness of the fabrication and matching of the component parts
unless otherwise specified. Tolerances shall not exceed those shown. Each
unit assembled shall be closely checked to ensure that all necessary
clearances have been provided and that binding does not occur in any moving
part. Assembly in the shop shall be in the same position as final
installation in the field unless otherwise specified. Assembly and
disassembly work shall be performed in the presence of the Contracting
Officer unless waived in writing. Errors or defects disclosed shall be
immediately remedied by the Contractor without cost to the Government.
Before disassembly for shipment each piece of a machinery or structural

location of match-marks shall be indicated by circling with a ring of white
paint after the shop coat of paint has been applied or as otherwise
directed.

TESTS, INSPECTIONS, AND VERIFICATIONS
The Contractor shall have required material tests and analyses performed
and certified by an approved laboratory to demonstrate that materials are

performed and certified at the Contractor's expense. Tests, inspections,
and verifications shall conform to the requirements of the particular
sections of these specifications for the respective items of work unless
otherwise specified or authorized. Tests shall be conducted in the
presence of the Contracting Officer if so required. The Contractor shall
furnish specimens and samples for additional independent tests and analyses
upon request by the Contracting Officer. Specimens and samples shall be
properly labeled and prepared for shipment.

When doubt exists as to the soundness of any material part such part may be
subjected to any form of nondestructive testing determined by the
Contracting Officer. This may include ultrasonic, magnaflux, dye
penetrant, x-ray, gamma ray or any other test that will thoroughly
investigate the part in question. The cost of such investigation will be
borne by the Government. Any defects will be cause for rejection and
rejected parts shall be replaced and retested at the Contractor's expense.
2.3.2
Tests of Machinery and Structural Units
The details for tests of machinery and structural units shall conform to
the requirements of the particular sections of these specifications
covering these items. Each complete machinery and structural unit shall be
assembled and tested in the shop in the presence of the Contracting Officer
unless otherwise directed. Waiving of tests will not relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for any fault in operation, workmanship or
material that occurs before the completion of the contract or guarantee.
After being installed at the site each complete machinery or structural
unit shall be operated through a sufficient number of complete cycles to
