Summary for spec p56011 and p55004 Discussion
spec p56011 and p55004 are unidentified in the thread, and the only guidance given is that more context is needed to trace them. Tyler Barnhart of Chanute, Kansas asks for help finding the specs, but the reply explains that large companies such as GE and GM historically used thousands of internal specifications, so a spec number alone is usually not enough. The answerer advises that any extra clues would help, such as whose drawing the spec appeared on, whether it relates to electroplating or another finishing process, or any other starting point. The response does not identify either spec and says it is uncertain whether a reader will know those exact numbers.
Q. We are having trouble tracking down a couple of specs. If anyone could help send us in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. The specs are P56011 and P55004.

A. Hi Tyler. Large companies like GE and GM used to each have thousands of specifications. So any hints at all, like whose drawing it was on, whether it’s for electroplating or some other finishing process, or anything at all as a starting point would help. I don’t know if we’ll be lucky enough to attract a reader who knows those two particular specs.
Luck & Regards,
