7.2.2.1. All incoming untested devices from Assembly have pins or plugs (not blue or
white in color) affixed in the ends of the tubes to contain the devices. These
original pins and plugs indicate that the devices have not undergone any
electrical testing.
7.2.2.2. Since untested devices from Assembly are received in clear tubes, and tested
devices are shipped in the same clear tubes, a color-coded scheme was developed for the pins/plugs to ensure that untested devices never get
mistakenly shipped to our customers.
