Neither A nor (E) shall be less than P in Table 2
47 2A + B + 2C +1.5r - 3d
(C) and (D) shall be equal and not more than A nor less than P in Table 2. Where (C) and (D) are to be minimized the following formula may be used:
L = 2A + B + max (21d, 240)
56 A + B + C + (D) + 2(E) – 2.5r – 5d
(E) & (F) shall be equal and not more than B or C, nor less than P in Table 2
64 A+B+C+2D+E+(F)-3r-6d

A+(B)-0.5r-d
Neither A nor B shall be less than P in Table 2
13 A + 0.57B + (C) – 1.6d
B shall not be less than 2(r + d). Neither A nor C shall be less than P in Table 2 nor less than (B/2 + 5d). See Note 3. Key: 1 - Semi-circular
15 A + (C)
Neither A nor (C) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1.
22 A + B + C + (D) - 1.5r - 3d
C shall not be less than 2(r + d). Neither A nor (D) shall be less than P in Table 2. Where used as a link, A shall not be less than P for links in Table 2 and (D) shall not be less than (C/2 + 5d.) Key: 1 - Semi-circular
24 A+B+(C)
A and (C) are at 90° to one another
26 A + B + (C)
Neither A nor (C) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1.
28 A + B + (C) – 0.5r – d
Neither A nor (C) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1.
31 A + B + C + (D) – 1.5r – 3d
Neither A nor (D) shall be less than P in Table 2
33 2A + 1.7B + 2C - 4d
A shall not be less than 12d + 30mm. B shall not be less than 2(r + d). (C) shall not be less than P in Table 2, nor less than (B/2 + 5d.) See Note 3.
Key: 1 - Semi-circular
35 A + B + C + (E) – 0.5r – d
Neither A nor (E) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1
41 A + B + C + D + (E) - 2r - 4d
Neither A nor (E) shall be less than P in Table 2. May also be used for flag link viz:

46 A + 2B + C + (E)
Neither A nor (E) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1
51 2 (A + B + (C)) - 2.5r - 5d
(C) and (D) shall be equal and not more than A or B nor less than P for links in Table 2. Where (C) and (D) are to be minimized the following formula may be used: L = 2A + 2B + max (16d,160)
63 2A + 3B + 2(C) - 3r - 6d
(C) and (D) shall be equal and not more than A or B nor less than P for links in Table 2. Where (C) and (D) are to be minimized the following formula may be used: L = 2 A + 3B + max(14d, 150)
67 A
See Clause 10
77 Cp(A-d) + B
Where B is greater than A/5 this equation no longer applies, in which case the following formula may be used:
L = C ((p(A-d))² + B²)1/2
C = Number of turns
99 All other shapes where standard shapes cannot be used.

No other shape code number, form of designation or abbreviation shall be used in scheduling.

A dimensional sketch shall be drawn over the dimension columns A to E. Every dimension shall be specified and the dimension that is to allow for permissible deviations shall be indicated in parenthesis, otherwise the fabricator is free to choose which dimensions shall allow for tolerance.

To be calculated
