This British Standard specifies basic designs for symbols intended for use on machine tools.
Drawings in this standard relate to the form of symbols only and are not absolute dimensional representations.
The standard makes recommendations for proportions to be used in the design of symbols, independent of actual dimensions.
The standard provides for the grouping together of symbols selected from the same or different sections of the standard according to individual requirements.
Examples of groupings of symbols are given in Appendix A for guidance purposes.
