Parametric Families of Parts, and Tabulations of Part Numbers With Parameter Values
Often machinery design requires a set of variations on a common theme. In such cases, a single drawing may include a tabulation, in which each row represents one of the part numbers, and each column provides a parameter value for it. A simple example might be for a family of screws:
| Dash number | Length | Thread size | Drive style |
|---|---|---|---|
| -1 | 10mm | M6 | Philips |
| -2 | 15mm | M7 | Slotted |
| -3 | 20mm | M8 | Socket hex |
Another common application of tabulation of parametric part families is in bushing design:
| Dash number | Length | Outer diameter | Inner diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| -1 | 10mm | 10mm | 8mm |
| -2 | 15mm | 10mm | 8mm |
| -3 | 20mm | 12mm | 10mm |

Famous quotes containing the words families, part, numbers and/or values:
“Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families; and in families not regulated by that pervading influence which sanctifies while it enhances ... in short, by the influence of Woman, in the lofty character of Wife, they may be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Nothing is so threatening to conventional values as a man who does not want to work or does not want to work at a challenging job, and most people are disturbed if a man in a well- paying job indicates ambivalence or dislike toward it.”
—Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)
