TECHNICAL QUESTIONS For technical questions regarding this manual, contact the following: Manager, AAR Loading Rules Transportation Technology Center, Inc. P.O. Box 11130 55500 DOT Road Pueblo, CO 81001 Email: [email protected] Phone: 719-584-0511 Fax: 719-584-0721 i 12/2007 Open Top Loading Rules Manual Index of Figures TO THE USER This online index contains a comprehensive index of the figures residing in the AAR Open Top Loading Rules Manual (OTLRM), Sections 2 through 7. This index is arranged in three sections: • A numerical list of all figures. • An alphabetical list by title. • A list organized by the OTLRM section number Each list shows the figure number, its title, and the section of the Open Top Loading Rules Manual in which that document is located. In addition, all Circular Letters that affect a document since its most recent publication are also identified. HOW TO USE THIS INDEX This index of the Open Top Loading Rules Manual contains each of the figure indices from the individual sections (2 through 7). You can search this index in one of three ways: 1. Locate a document by its number using the Numeric Index on page 1. 2. Locate a document by its title using the Alphabetic Index on page 23. 3. Locate a document by searching a particular section in the Section Index on page 45. The right-hand column of each index contains the word “Check” if a document is affected by a Circular Letter that was issued subsequent to the release of the manual containing the document. You may click the link (if viewing the PDF) or go to the section entitled “Current Circular Letters” to view a list of Circular Letters issued for each affected document. DISCLAIMER The “Current Circular Letters” section lists the Circular Letters that have been issued subsequent to the most recent release of the Open Top Loading Rules Manual. This list is intended to improve accessability to the users. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that individual OTLRM section reflect interim revisions inplemented via Circular Letter. This list of Circular Letters is current as of the date printed in the margin. Any changes issued via AAR Circular Letter after that date will not be included. ii EFFECTIVE 09/02/2016 Note: Each individual section of the Open Top Loading Rules Manual also includes a table of contents for that particular section.
