National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Automobile
Standards Committee and is identical with ISO 8667:1986 “Commercial vehicles
and buses — Cross-tooth gearbox flanges, type T”, published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has
been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without
deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those
used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following.
The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current
practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker.
Wherever the words “International Standard” and “ISO 8667” appear, referring
to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard” and “BS AU 214a-1”
respectively.

The Technical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO 1101:1983 to which
reference is made in the text, and has decided that they are acceptable for use in
conjunction with this standard. A related British Standard to ISO 1101 is BS 308
“Engineering drawing practice” Part 3:1972 “Geometrical tolerancing”.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
