Figure 9-3.-DoD Property Record Card, DD Form 1342 (front).

DD Form 1342 (fig. 9-3 and fig. 9-4). This form is used to report acquisitions and transfers of Navy equipment in support of the Navy equipment registration system. It is also used to assist the mechanics, shop supervisor, and technical librarian with information needed in the research of repair parts. Property Record Cards are updated each time a serialized component is changed on the unit (engine, transmission, etc.). The need for accurate preparation of this form cannot be overemphasized as this document is the sole source for recording all pertinent data relative to the equipment at the Civil Engineer Support Office, Port Hueneme, California.

Since he is the one performing the final inspection, the inspector is responsible for accuracy in obtaining correct information.
