Dimensioning Systems FAQs

The purpose of dimensioning is to provide a clear and complete description of an object, so that it can be constructed unambiguously. A complete set of dimensions will leave no room for interpretation, and will therefore result in a more accurate final product.

1. The dimensions should be clear and concise, so that there is no confusion about what they represent.

2. All relevant dimensions should be included, in order to avoid leaving anything out.

3. The dimensions should be placed in an easily accessible location, so that they can be readily consulted during the construction process.

4. The dimensions should be easy to interpret, so that there is no confusion about how to use them.

"I received a call from a gentleman at Conway Freight regarding your service at Conway in Louisville.  Apparently he was extremely impressed with the service, repairs and installations American Scale completed at the terminal.  During the years we have been doing national service, this is the first time one of the national accounts has called specifically to compliment a dealer.  He has never walked into a terminal and not called me with some issue that needs to be fixed.  He said a couple times over there was not one little thing wrong with the scales that he could find. I want to thank your for everything you have done to present because American Scale represents Rice Lake and you have made both companies look great!  The gentleman who called is also the person who controls the reweighs and scale purchases for Conway corporate.  With that said, he was impressed!"
