Notes(1) These abbreviation codes are to be used in related documents, blueprints, etc.
(2) In cases where a separate title is required for correspondence documents etc, matters must relate to the “Jikkei”.
(3) Absolutely avoid the use of prototype model names in records.
(4) For variants, 1, 2, 3, and so on will be added sequentially to the one’s place numeral.
