(b) Where the nature of the item requires the plural form, such as in "CLIMBERS" or
"GLOVES".
(c) Multiple single items appearing on the same drawing, as in "Fuses", "Connectors", or
"Fasteners".
(5) The word "ASSEMBLY" shall be used in names selected from Cataloging Handbook H6 exactly as published therein ("CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPECIAL PURPOSE, ELECTRICAL"). When no applicable name appears in Cataloging Handbook H6 the word "ASSEMBLY" shall be used as the last word of the noun phrase ("INTAKE-MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY, GASOLINE ENGINE").
(6) An ambiguous noun, or one which designates several classes of items, shall not be used alone but may be used as part of a noun phrase.
Example:
Acceptable Unacceptable SLIDE RULE RULE, SLIDE SOLDERING IRON IRON, SOLDERING
CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY, CIRCUIT CARD PRINTED WIRING BOARD BOARD, PRINTED WIRING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD BOARD, PRINTED CIRCUIT
NOTE: One of the most difficult tasks in naming any item is the determination as to when a noun should be qualified as being ambiguous. The general rule quoted above is amplified to some extent in the succeeding paragraph. When a noun does not expressly fit under any of these rules,
one step in determining whether the selected noun is or is not ambiguous, is to refer to Cataloging
Handbook H6 to see if it is listed. For example, if there is a question on the noun "plate", a
review of the index will reveal many item names with the noun "plate" used, indicating the noun is not considered as being ambiguous.
(7) A trade-marked or copyrighted name shall not be used as the noun or noun phrase except where the technical name is extremely difficult ("FREON 12" rather than "DICHLORODIFLUOROMETHANE") or where no other name is available.
(8) When an item is not a container or material, but its name involves the use of a noun which ordinarily designates a container or material, a noun phrase shall be used as the basic name.
Acceptable Unacceptable
JUNCTION BOX BOX, JUNCTION CABLE DRUM DRUM, CABLE SOLDERING IRON IRON, SOLDERING
(9) The following words shall never be used alone but may be the last word of a noun phrase:
