Collective part drawings

Alternative to single part drawing
Shows an item with all dimensions, but those
dimension/s which vary will be given a letter and, by
reference to a table, the size/s and the part number
can be obtained
E.g. rivets or bolts
The items have the same form but dimensions may vary
