KAPL Document

KAPL Document

KAPL Document

(OP)
Does anyone have a copy of KAPL drawing 296E600 "Standard Tolerances and Manufacturing Practices?  Or if it's been superseded or replaced by something else.

RE: KAPL Document

I assume you've tried contacting them and had no luck?

It does seem their website is out of order.

Given what they do are there any issues over proprietry rights/confidentiality/security issues or the like that may prevent someone just handing over the info even if they have it?

RE: KAPL Document

(OP)
Yes, I did try their website.  You make a good point about access.

RE: KAPL Document

Wow! There is a acronyn out of the past---KAPL.
 I worked for a sub-contractor to KAPL in the late 60's,  early 70's, designing and building Control Rod Drive Mechanisms for them and the NAVY.
 As I recall, we used our own internal manufacturing practices, but assembly tolerances were dictated within the contractural documentation.
 Other than that we used GD&T from the original USASI Y14.5-1966 and later ANSI Y14.5-1973, and dictated all tolerances on the face of the drawing vs using "standard" tolerances
 Such a document as you mention, and which I can't recall, would have at that time been proprietary or controlled.
