Abstract
Thisbibliographycoverstwoofthethreeprincipaldivisionsofdimensionalmetrology,
namely (1) linear, angular, and geometrical measurements of solid bodies, and (2) in-
process control of sizes. The remaining division is gages, gaging, and inspection as to
specified limits of size. There are about 3,600 references classified under main subject
headings in 12 sections, which are further subdivided into 102 subsections covering.100
subjects. The12mainsubjectsare (1) generalmetrology,physicalanddimensional; (2)

Foreword
Inthemanufactureofmodernmachinesandinstruments,anindispensable
requirement is the control of the dimensions of parts to within specified tol-
erances. Suchcontrolmakespossibletheinterchangeabilityofpartsproduced
in different localities; it also is essential to the proper functioning and relia-
bility of the final assembly.
Various methods are used to achieve dimensional control. They include
(1) control by the production machine or process; (2) application of statis-
tical methods of quality control, which involve measurement of samples of
partstakenatintervals; and (3) thegagingof in-processorfinishedpartsby
means of fixed or indicatinggages. All such methods ofcontrol requirethat
measurements ofthegagesorproductbemade. Thustheunderlyingbasisof
such control is the selection and application of measuring techniques whose
accuracyiscompatiblewiththegageorproducttolerances.

ing knowledge regarding measuring methods and equipment. In particular,

cedure of the American Standards Association and sponsored by The Amer-
icanSocietyofMechanicalEngineers. Althoughtheliteratureofdimensional
metrology is extensive in the areasofgaging methods andgages, thepresent
publication, consisting of about 3,600 references, is mostly limited to dimen-
sional measurement that yields numerical results.
