.
Apart from the
spe

cific constructional differences identified below
,
the
basic
AKR

mechanism and accessory
devices
are
substantially
common to
all versions
.
Except for the
800 A frame
primary stud
details
,
the external H

x
D dimensions
are
identical
.
Accordingly
,
a
majority
of the AKR

-
7310 A
applies equally
to
the
new
types
.
Therefore
,
to
avoid needless

,
the
scope
of this supplement is confined principally
to
that descriptive and instructional material unique
to
the
new models
.
