Assembly drawing
A drawing that shows the relationship of the various components as they fit the gather
Axillary view
An orthographic view projected angularly used to show features appearing on inclined or oblique surfaces
Axis
A centerline about which parts are symmetrically arranged that may or may not revolve upon it.
Baseline Demensioning
A system of dimensioning used to locate features of a part from a common set of datums
Basic size

Blind whole
A hole that does not pass all the way through
Bolt circle
A cylindrical centerline upon which two or more hole centers are located
Bore
A raised cylindrical projection used to provide extra metal around a hole in a casting or for going. The boss and the pad are similar except that the boss is always circular and the pad may be in any other shape
Brooch

Case hardening
To harden ferrous alloy so that the surface layer is harder than the interior core
Casting
A metal object made by pouring molten metal into a mold
Chain dimensioning
