0 Richard Farrant Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 AESP's were in blue ring binder folders. Are you meaning the parts catalogues which were often screwed together? They were blue as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fv1609 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 As with EMERs the colour of the AESP binder indicates the security classification. RED binders SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL BLUE binders RESTRICTED and below If AESPs of mixed security were to be filed together in a RED binder. The pages of AESPs that are SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL should be coloured PINK or GREEN accordingly. BLUE pages indicate immediate attention is required. YELLOW pages indicate ACCESSION LISTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to see the shade of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fv1609 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think you will find that blue card bolt-together or lace-together hard card folders are for WO/Army Coded publications typically for parts lists. Unless they are extraordinarily large, parts lists in the AESP series are usually integrated with other sections of the AESP octad and presented in dark blue ring binders. EMERs through their various evolutions were in lighter blue binders, although later issues of EMERs turn up in the dark blue binders used for AESPs.
