The past twenty years have seen a continued increase in importance of computer aided measurement techniques as a means to control industrial production. At the same time the basic definitions governing design, production and quality control of workpieces have undergone first steps of international harmonization and standardization. Focal points of interest included the definitions of nominal, real and substitute geometrical features. The cylinder is a characteristic example of feature both on the side of design and production as well as on the side of measurement.
