gunman, I agree to what you said. If the reamer did have wear, then the when it came to the inspection team to look at them, it would get sent back.
Most L.C. Smith drawings are three places past the decimal and back when I worked in fairly close tolorence work, three places fast the decimal meant I believe +/- .005, two past decimal was +/- .025. Most of our drawings were stated how much in plus or minus, and some were plus .002, minus .000. Also I believe four places was +/- .0005.
All of our machines were in metric, and usually were one to one on the lathes, which made it easier than in thousandths, but decimals in thousandths was in parenthases
