What is grammatically incorrect?

I think the new proposed adhesives symbol on drawings is not a good idea. There is too much information that has to be presented on a drawing. (think KISS) I think a better way would be to assign a letter symbol to the joint requiring adhesive and refer to a separate schedule for details. This can be in the form of a general note or a separate list. Engineering drawings are viewed by people with various educational backgrounds. What may be understood by the engineer may not be pertinent to others and could result in confusion or misrepresentation.

As a Materials and Process Engineer with over 20 years experience with composites in the aerospace industry, I would agree with the previous comment, except for the statement, "..assign a letter symbol to the joint requiring adhesive and refer to a separate schedule for details. This can be in the form of a general note or a separate list.". This is not a new concept, but one that has been in place for decades. Of all the 2D blueprints and CAD models I've ever seen and made, the components and areas to be bonded are identified by a flagnote (FN). That flagnote will describe the pertinent bonding specification to be used which contains the bond process. Adding a new symbol to identify and perform a function for a symbol already in place that does the same thing is redundant and adds no value.

I agree. Processing adhesives is a far more complex task than inserting a screw and tightening it to spec.

I spent 25 years in the aerospace industry. We built electronics for the space shuttle, among other things, and did just fine using process information not actually on the drawing.

Wow, that makes me old doesn't it.
