Shop Truths, Phrases, Tales; and Outright Lies

Unable to locate where I posted information on HMT.net; leading readers to acquire US Navy manuals.
A favorite reference; still the 'Machinery Repairman' 3 & 2, (and) 1 & C. Those cover broad scope of topics from hand tools to administration, same progression of responsibilities as entry level Petty Officers to Chief. Some question their abilities; it isn't generally due to lack of facilities, that's for sure. Being connected with 9 different installations, proved it each time.
Well today, I'm looking for solutions to replicate the foot print of an [my] immense horizontal 4B JigMil. Roughly 15' across, and 10' deep, with 19 leveling screw holes in a not-rectangular foot print. It's time to layout floor cuts, to excavate 8" floor for the 4' foundation required to perform best. While pad will be rectangular, placing the bolts [or anchor holes] will be a challenge. Has to be correct, enabling riggers place machine as intended. It may be more effective to drill deep and epoxy long altered J-bolts. Nothing turns up, even close. Society of the internet isn't well geared for terminology of workmen.

I hate the internet...logical search terms primarily locate advertising instead of directed content; quotes be damned.
BUT did find the US Army equivalent to the Navy manual, they aren't quite clones, and a good thing. I recommend dedicating permanent storage of the address and 300+ PDF pages; thumb, non rewrite disk or print on substantial paper stock for a binder.

It's at http://www.apd.army.mil/epubs/DR_pub...eb/tc9_524.pdf

I sure do enjoy the internet...always a better reward in wandering than searching. My settings pull 100 returns per page. Costs same either way, right?
