The data regarding clearnnces and tolerances are given as a guide
for personnel engaged upon major overhauls.
Tbe figures in the column .. Permissible Dimensions ,t are the
drawing sizes to which tbe parts are made. These dimensions are
given in limit farm and represent tbe minimum and maximum sizes
to which parts may be accepted when new, as, ror example,
.4985
-:499 The difference 111,ntPn '1 .-. fnr between - " qh"ft ~ the ni"m~tpr minimum and maximum dimensions
quoted in para. 2 is known as thc manufacturing tolerance. This
tolerancc is necessary as an aid to manufacture and its numerical
valuc is an expression of the accuracy of the design; it mayalso be
considered as a numerical expression of the desired quality of workmanship.
For the example referred to in para 2 thc tolerance is
0.0005.
If when carrying out a major overhaul it is found that a bush and
corresponding shaft have worn and that the majority of wear has
taken place in the bush it may be necessary to renew the bush only.
Similarly if the majority of wear has taken place on the shaft it
might only be necessary to rencw thc shaft.
During the overhaul of wom components personal initiative must
be exercised at all times. It is obviously uneconomical to return
wom parts to service with an expectation of lire which may involve
labour costs agaiÎ1 at an carly date.
