Notes from the standard
- Thread per FED-STD-H28/2; threaded to within a distance of not less than two threads of the bearing surface of the head; screws 2-1/4 to 3 long have a minimum complete thread length of 1-3/4.
- Magnetic permeability per the procurement specification. Recess per MS9006. Dimensions in inches. Lengths are printed as fractions (1-1/4 printed with a hyphen); there is no 9/16 length.
- Dash numbers marked * (10, 22, 23, 54 to 58, 74, 75, 90, 91, 105, 106) are manufacturer non-stock production items (flagged nonstock in the data).
- In Table I the .190 column starts at 3/16 (dash 58), the .250 column at 5/16 (76), the .3125 column at 3/8 (92) and the .375 column at 1/2 (107); dash numbers are assigned sequentially down each column and positions were fixed from that sequence and the printed row groups.
