Drawings are comprised of symbols and lines
that represent components or systems. Although a majority of
the symbols and lines are self-explanatory or standard (as
described in later modules), a few unique symbols and
conventions must be explained for each drawing. The notes
and legends section of a drawing lists and explains any
special symbols and conventions used on the drawing, as
illustrated below. Also listed in the notes section is any
information the designer or draftsman felt was necessary to
correctly use or understand the drawing. Because of the
importance of understanding all of the symbols and
conventions used on a drawing, the notes and legend section
must be reviewed before reading a drawing.
