British Standards\n\nThe British Standards Institution(BSI)is the body responsible for determining British Standardsfor products,materials,systems and services at European and international level.  \nIn the Higher Graphic Communication course it is expected that you will familiarise yourselfwith the guide British Standard for Technical Product Specification (TPS),BS 8888.In the guide a Technical Product Specification is defined as a working  \ndrawing of the proposed design of the whole product.  \nFamiliarising yourself with BS 8888 will give you the theoretical knowledge neededfor the Higher exam and assist in the completion of production drawings for theThematic Presentation.  \nThe main purpose of the guide is to establish a common standard for communicatingproduct and drawing details between designers and manufacturers,with clearunderstanding and consistency worldwide.  \nBritish Standards are universally understood by everyone involved in producing or usingproduction drawings.Using British Standards has a number of advantages:  \n·drawings are easier and quicker to draw because products are simplified  \n·drawings are easier to understand due to their concise nature  \n·drawings can impart lots of information efficiently.  \nThis section of the book gives a brief overview of the requirements of producing productiondrawings which conform to BS 8888.There are four main areas to consider:  \n·setting up production drawings  \n·projection methods  \n·making drawings easier to understand  \n·representing standard components.  \nThis section is intended as reference only.For more detailed information on each of thesetopics,refer to BS 8888 itself.  \n# Setting up a production drawing\n\nEnsuring that all production drawings are set out in a consistent way helps reduceerrors which might inadvertently be introduced by the use of an unusual or non-standard presentation.  \n## Title Blocks\n\nTitle blocks should be at the bottom of the sheet and extend to the lower right-hand cornerof the page.The following information should be contained within:  \n·date  \n·name  \n·projection symbol  \n·original scale  \n·drawing number  \n·title  \n·dimensional tolerances.  \n## Drawing Scales\n\nEvery technical drawing needs to be drawn in accurate proportion,i.e.to a uniform scale.This scale should be given in the tile block as a ratio,e.g.ORIGINAL SCALE 1:2.  \nIn the Higher course you should be aware of the following recommended scales withinBS 8888:  \n\n| Full size   | Reduction scales  \u003Cbr>(drawings less than full size)   | Enlargement scales  \u003Cbr>(drawings larger than full size)   |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1:1   | 1:2,1:5,1:10,  \u003Cbr>1:20,1:50,1:100,  \u003Cbr>1:200,1:500,1:1000   | 2:1,5:1,10:1,  \u003Cbr>20:1,50:1   |\n\n## Lines and line work\n\nOn working drawings the line work should be the appropriate type,thickness and density.The type and thickness of a drawn line conveys specific information to the reader.Failureto do this could lead to the intentions of the designer being misunderstood by the user.Aselection of lines that may be encountered in the Higher course is shown in the table onthe following page.  \nBRITISH STANDARDS  \n## Projection methods\n\n\n| Line   | Description   | Application   |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| A   | Continuous thick   | Visible outlines and edges   |\n| B   | Continuous thin   | Dimension,projection and  \u003Cbr>leader lines,hatching  \u003Cbr>outlines of revolved sections,  \u003Cbr>short centre lines,imaginary  \u003Cbr>intersections   |\n|  |  |  |\n|  | Continuous thin irregular   | Limits of partial or interrupted  \u003Cbr>views and sections if the limit  \u003Cbr>is not an axis   |\n|  | Continuous thin with  \u003Cbr>straight zigzags   | Limits of partial or interrupted  \u003Cbr>views and sections if the limit  \u003Cbr>is not an axis   |\n| E   | Dashed thin   | Hidden outlines and edges   |\n| F   | Chain thin   | Centre lines,lines of  \u003Cbr>symmetry,trajectories,loci,  \u003Cbr>pitch lines and pitch circles   |\n|  | Chain thin thick at ends  \u003Cbr>and changes of direction   | Cutting planes   |\n| H
