Hey parts vendors, how about INCLUDING A DECENT SET OF INSTRUCTIONS in with the products you sell?

My complaint with the FSM’s is that segments appear to be written just for engineers and sometimes the line drawings (Figures) do not follow the description (“A” on the drawing is”1” in the description; name of a part changes between drawing and instructions).

I used to work in manufacturing a long time ago and when things got slow we would do random QC
I'd grab a box of parts, pull up the blueprint and see if everything was within spec

One day grabbed a skid and pulled up the print

And of course there is a date on the print and this little "revision" box on the bottom

(Now, usually revision boxes add info or tell you when things are changed for whatever reason)

This print literary said "revision A: print changed to match parts in stock
