  • Abstract
    Some simple rules are given for obtaining the precise definition of a component or manufacturing process from a set of documents. Examples are quoted to show how specifications should be used while at the same time providing a warning against giving too much blind faith to this form of printed word. The difficulties facing specification writers are mentioned and examples of unusable or misleading documents cited. All references are from unclassified government sources.
