Default Question for AIM experts

I've looked extensively at the AIM for my 80 and can't find what the number within a circle means. I'm sure once I'm told what it means I will slap my forehead but until then can someone help me out?
Thanks

in the AIM for '76 the number in the circle is for a revision that is noted at the bottom of the page. i.e. part number changed

After looking for the revisions themselves I found the symbols page. Of course the circle is was exactly what you stated it is. But there is no actual listing of the revision itself as far as I can see. Thanks for the quick (and accurate) reply.

Typically revision history is found down in the drawing title block of each page. It will list each individual revision with a brief explanation. It may be something simple like "redrawn" or something more detailed.

Hi,
Pete's really right.
Often the 'description' is VERY brief, but, it's ALMOST always enough to figure out what the change actually was.
I use a 71 AIM, but have a 70 AIM I refer to on occasion because I'm curious about the revision when it says 'redrawn' in the 71 AIM.
Regards,
Alan
