The shortcomings of bilateral (coordinate) dimensioning in product drawings as a means of giving engineering information are pointed out using as an example a bilaterally dimensioned plate with four clearance holes for assembling to another identical plate. A new system called positional tolerancing is proposed for inspection criteria for companies with far-flung operations. Paper gage techniques are given for open setup inspection of piece parts.
