Mil-Spec and Mil-Spec kit?

If it hasn't happened already, all MIL SPECS have been transitioned to SAE
specs. At least that's what I was told was happening.

I'd like to read MIL-SPEC TT-P-1757, which talks about zinc chromate.
GOOGLING for it, I see offers to /sell/ the document.

Shouldn't that spec be available on-line somewhere?

Second, I see offers for "Mil-Spec TT-P-1757 kit". What would the
'kit' consist of? - Mike

There is definitely a trend towards "Consensus Standards", but it's far
from ALL. The DoD has found out it's not nesessarily any cheaper,
since he standards setting bodies don't generally take up a standards
unless someone is willing to fund it.

If you have to have a research, development, and engineering
establishment anyway to find good ways of doing things, you may as well
have them write up the results of their research into a spec.

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
