Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a technical drawing detailing components for a "Wiffle Tree" assembly, likely for a research or engineering project. It provides the necessary specifications for manufacturing these parts.

• Components: Includes detailed drawings for "Long Leg," "Mid Leg," "Short Leg," "Linkage, Short Leg," "Linkage, Mid Leg," and "Linkage, Long Leg."
• Dimensions: Specifies precise measurements and tolerances for each component, including hole diameters and overall lengths/widths.
• Materials: Indicates "17-4PH H1150" as the material and suggests a "COAT" finish, with further details to be found in the Product Data Management (PDM) system.
• Standards: Notes that GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) is in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009.
• General Notes: Includes instructions regarding model-based drawing reference, inspection of dimensional requirements, and the removal of burrs and sharp edges.

This drawing is crucial for any bidder involved in the manufacturing or fabrication of the "Wiffle Tree" components. It defines the exact specifications required for production, ensuring that the delivered parts meet the government's technical requirements.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a technical drawing for a "LEG, FRAME" component, likely for a larger assembly. It provides detailed specifications for manufacturing the part.

• The drawing specifies the material as "6061-T6 ALUMINUM EXT." and the finish as "CLEAR ANODIZE."
• It details dimensions and tolerances for an extrusion measuring 6.0 x 6.0 x .5.
• Specific features include multiple through-holes with precise diameter and positional tolerances (e.g., 24X 0.640" THRU BOTH SIDES with tolerances of ±0.006" and ±0.010").
• It also calls out threaded holes (2X 5/16-18 UNC THRU) with specific positional tolerances.
• General notes indicate it is a model-based drawing, and dimensions on the drawing field take precedence over the solid model unless otherwise specified. It also requires removal of burrs and breaking of sharp edges.
• GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) is in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009.

This drawing is critical for any bidder needing to manufacture or procure the "LEG, FRAME" component. It provides the exact specifications required for production, including material, dimensions, tolerances, and finishing requirements. Bidders must ensure their manufacturing processes can meet these precise specifications.
