My son just showed me the official engineering symbol for this. Make two

I never learned that symbol in colledge


"The Kid" had to explain it to me. The UU is your nutsac. the arrow killed
it. Hence, "Dead Nuts". He designs all the fixtures for production CNC
machining after writing the programs at his company. When he wants the
fixture craftsman to pay special attention to this detail, he includes the
symbol. Its guaranteed to get a call from the shop and then a laugh. Plus
that detail gets made just right.
