Working drawings assembly

Computer-aided design (CAD) n. Using a computer, and appropriate programs (software), in the engineering design - even to the production of finished working drawings - of parts, tools, molds, and assemblies. 

Draw up the work plan The final step in this development methodology is to define the work pian, a process that breaks down into work-sequence and work-resources pianning. The former entails drawing up work and assembly plans and machine controi programs. The machines and jigs are designed in work-resources planning, with number of units to be produced, tolerances, and capacities all taken duly into account. 

Aluminum alloys are commercially available in a wide variety of cast forms and in wrought mill products produced by rolling, extmsion, drawing, or forging. The mill products may be further shaped by a variety of metal working and forming processes and assembled by conventional joining procedures into more complex components and stmctures. 

Some companies do not allow the use of this sheet in their work primarily because of the confidential nature of some of the.process data. Wliere it is used, it presents a concise summary of the complete process and key mechanical data for assembly. This type of sheet requires more time for complete preparation, but like all engineering developments preliminary issues are made as information is available. Often the sheet is not complete until the piping and other detailed drawings are finished. This then is an excellent record of the process as well as a work sheet for training operators of the plant. 

If, for example, it is desired to enlarge a drawing to exactly twice its sUe, the blades simuld be divided lengthwise into three parts and the hole made at one of the divisions so that, when the instrument is assembled, the distance from the pivoted joint to the one end will be exactly twice tbe distance from the joint to the other end. Sitnilarly, to enlarge three times, the blades must be divided into four parts and the pivot hole placed at a point one quarter ihe length of the blades from one end. Other divisions can be worked out in the same way. For small work, a good length make tbe blades is in., as indicated by the inch scale placed beneath the lines upon which tbe divisions have been marked. 

The generating plant was ordered under the same contract as that at Tunnel Quarry. There were a number of special conditions to the contract which are interesting to recall, bearing in mind that the contractor was only being asked to supply their standard product. Only British workmen were to be allowed to work on the manufacture and installation of the plant, and only British or Empire materials were to be used. No duplicates of any drawings were to be produced, and all annotations describing the function of the various parts were to be erased, even on drawings issued to sub-contractors. Final assembly of the complete equipment was to be undertaken in a comer of the factory securely screened off from the rest of the works. 

Acknowledgements Most of the X-ray structures of ruthenium-mediated assemblies of porphyrins mentioned or showed in this contribution were solved by Prof. Ennio Zan-grando (Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Universita di Trieste), who also very kindly provided the new drawings. Part of the work summarized here was financially supported by the donors of the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the ACS, (grant ACS PRF 38892-AC3) and by MIUR (PRIN 2003 no. 2003035553 and F1RB-RBNE019H9K projects).
