the explanatory text will include a reference by a figure kgf kilograms of force
number and a page number (if the figure is not on the " inch
same page as the procedural step). Illustrations that reflect mm millimeters
what the explanatory text covers follow the explanatory tpi threads per inch

(rather than by name). The table number appears adjacent has a unit, the other number shares the unit. For example,
to the table name at the top of the table. The numbers 3–4mm means 3mm to 4mm. For another example, the

be the third table in chapter 10.
Periodically, a procedural step or explanatory text
will refer you to an explanatory illustration. When this
happens, the illustration will be identified by number or
number-letter combination. The numbers are based on
two factors. For example, figure 10.3 would be the third
numbered figure in chapter 10. A letter is added when a fig-
ure has been inserted between sequential figures from the
previous edition. For example, if the fourth edition had a
figure 12.4 and 12.5 and the fifth edition has a new figure
that appears between 12.4 and 12.5, then 12.4 has been
renumbered to be 12.4a and the new figure is numbered
