MIL-STD-962D
4.16.2 Footnotes to tables. Footnotes shall be numbered separately for each table as they appear in the table. Footnote numbers or symbols shall be placed immediately following a word and preceding a numeric value requiring the footnote. Numbered footnotes shall be listed in
order immediately below the table. When numbered footnotes may lead to ambiguity (for example, in connection with a chemical formula), superscript letters, daggers, and other symbols may be used.
4.16.3 Notes to figures. Notes to figures are numbered separately from textual footnotes within the document. Drafting or dimensional notes shall be numbered consecutively and placed below the figure and above the title. The word "NOTES:" shall be placed below the figure at the left margin of the figure followed by the explanatory information in Arabic numeral sequence under "NOTES." For example:
"NOTES:
1. Dimensions are in millimeters.
2. Inch-pound equivalents are given for information only."
4.17 Foldouts. Foldouts should be avoided since their use will require special printing and handling procedures. Whenever possible, lengthy tables should be reformatted as multiple, single-page tables. When foldouts are required, they shall be grouped in one place, preferably at the end of the document (in the same location as figures) and suitable reference to their location shall be included in the text.
4.18 Cross-reference. Cross-reference shall be used only to clarify the relationship of requirements within the standard and to avoid inconsistencies and unnecessary repetition. When the cross-reference is to a paragraph or subparagraph within the standard, the cross-reference shall be only to the specific paragraph number. The word "paragraph" shall not appear; for example, "(see 3.1.1)".
4.19 References to other documents. Judicious referencing of other documents in standards is a valuable tool that eliminates the repetition of requirements and tests adequately set forth elsewhere. However, unnecessary or untailored referencing of other documents can lead to increased costs, excessive tiering, ambiguities, and compliance with unneeded requirements.
The following rules shall apply when referencing another document as a requirement in a standard and listing it in section 2 as an applicable document:
a. If the information is less than a page and if it is not a violation of copyright provisions
(see 4.4), it should be included directly into the standard without referencing another document.
b. Referenced documents shall be current (not canceled or superseded), approved for use
(not drafts), and readily available.
c. Inactive-for-new-design documents may be referenced in other inactive-for-new- design documents. For active documents, referencing of inactive-for-new-design documents
