8. Remarks FSMWO A32-W3 as originally issued and
dated 4 October 1943, was canceled in view of the fact that bands
received were too large to permit a proper fit. The work order
included all submachine guns, including the M1928A1 which was in
error Although the drawing showed the unit as an assembly, bands
were being received without the screw or nuts.
