Please re-think your + .005/ -.000 lower tolerance for the .190 dia DATUM A. If you wish to keep it, you should add MMB in the FCF.

KENAT: Yes, during my career with what is quaintly referred to around here as "The Navy Base", I wore many hats. Designer, Checker, Configuration Manager, Project Manager; eventually became the de facto Checker due largely to the need for such a position. The volume of drawings being prepared...

It generally boils down to how much trust is warranted a "checker"; and what actually defines him/her. There is little use for a tyrant in any scientific endeavor. The checker must gain an implicit level of confidence from his/her contemporaries, otherwise....well, you said it fine, you will...

Typically I would make certain an imposing figure of management was chairing the meeting, if for no other reason than to establish the scope/boundaries of that gathering. It tended to weed out the casual shooting-from-the-hip types who were posturing for attention. As far as I was concerned...
