A. Dimensional Information
Subtask 73-21-60-020-066-A NOTE: The dimensional data identified within this procedure was designed using millimeters as the base unit of measurement for dimensional values. The conversion to inches is rounded to two additional decimal digits than millimeters. For minimum dimensions, converted values are rounded up. For maximum dimensions, converted values are rounded down. To avoid conversion errors, do not re-convert from inches to millimeters.
NOTE: Reference dimensions do not require inspection.
