Thread specification on German drawing 4

[minerk]

I've got a German drawing produced in the early '80s that specifies a few threaded holes as: M24 "b". Does the "b" indicate pitch? And if so, what pitch?

Thanks in advance,

minerk

There is a revision "b", that reads "Pos.-Bezeichng. in Ubersichthinzu" followed by the date and initials.

Or is it simply defining a footnote on the drawing?
Ah so, it is a revision "b".

Do you have a good German Dictionary?

I have translated more than a thousand drawings from
Germany and in the revisions they often use abbreviations which compounds trying to use a direct translation.
Good luck.

minerk,

the abbreviation in the revision indicator box means "Positionsbezeichnung in Übersichtszeichnung hinzugefügt" which means something like item indication added in overview drawing.

Kind Regards,
hahor

My Deutsch says "Position Designation added to Overview Drawing" [General Arrangement? Assembly Drawing is "Zusammenbauzeichnung"].

That's it! It does appear that the location of the holes labeled M24 "b" was added later. Thanks for all the help guys!

It's tough to find translation for technical terms to begin with, but throw in a few abbreviations and it's nigh impossible. You would think that the folks here who bought this equipment would have had the sense to have the drawings translated as part of the deal!
