That reminds me of the special drawing...

(Damnit, can't find one online or on my hard
drive.
Anyway, every one of the measurements was
"TBD".)

'To Be Determined' ? heh heh .. ;)}

Rregarding "special" drawings, there was a legend at _American
Machinist_ from the late '60s, in which they had a drawing from Japan
of a new press one of their companies was building for sale in the US.
There was an item on the drawing labelled "Water goat." No one could
figure out what it was, until one of the editors slapped his head and
said, "Of course! It's a hydraulic ram!"

True story.
