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:
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being framed.”
—Plato (5th century B.C.)
“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
