The black square is Velcro.

We found the item buried behind some old chairs and a table. Nothing else around that would indicate its use.

Thanks guys. One for the museum maybe.

Commercial building, been empty for a while. Previous tenants unknown.

Found this in basement of new premises. Anybody know what this is?

I am QC not engineering. We have a couple of young engineers that are using 'Drill' and then put a +/-.002 tolerance. I thought Drill had been removed by ASME at some point, obviously not from your comments. I will have to impress upon them that if they want a hole give a diameter plus the...

Is the term 'Drill' still used and if it is doesn't Drill have it's own tolerance depending on drill size?

Okay gentlemen I stand corrected. Thanks

I am head of QC in a manufacturing company full of engineers and I am constantly arguing with the engineers especially the younger right out of school types about the correct way to detail their drawings. The latest concerns Datums. This engineer continually places Datums on cross sections...

Version ASME Y14.5M-1994 is the standard generally used here. Let me digest and get back to you later. Thanks much guys.

Engineer is a young guy. We usually work well together but when we (QC) question something like this the reaction is 'well what the hell do you know you are just QC'.

Ok, lets say we stay with what the language is would you say the 1.763 insp. result is acceptable? In addition could detail how you think the language should be. Thanks

The design engineers response to our question was; "As the slot becomes more oversize its location becomes less critical. At LMC The location can be off 0.010 more than at MMC." The dimension 1.753+/-.003 is measuring 1.763. Note: We rarely ever see LMC used and when we do it's nearly always...
