Notes from the standard
- Thread: Unified external class 2A UNC, FED-STD-H28/2; threads extend to within two threads of the head bearing surface; lengths over 2.000 have 1.750 minimum complete thread.
- Recess per NASM9006. Magnetic permeability when specified: below 2.0 (air = 1.0) at H = 200 oersteds.
- Dash numbers 120 to 142 (lengths .562, 1.125, 1.375 and 1.000 for .0860) are inactive for new design after 18 July 1986. Dash numbers 22, 58, 74, 75, 90, 91, 105 and 106 are manufacturer non-stock production items.
- The length tolerance bands (+0/-.031, -.062, -.094) are placed by position of the printed labels in the table.
- Sheet 5 (Table II) cross-references the canceled MS16200, MS35233, MS35216, AN515 (in part) and AN526 (in part) dash numbers; not transcribed.
