Use Tables and Charts Appropriately

Use tables and charts to organize data and help the trainee process information. For example, tables often are used to list special tools and equipment, and charts are used for show tolerances and limits. Tables and charts also are useful when you want to avoid having the trainee perform calculations. Here is an example of a table:

EQUIPMENT	CARTRIDGE NUMBER	LOCATION
HP fax machine	HP 2475a	Supply closet, shelf 2, box #3
HP inkjet printer	Black—HP 1627a	Supply closet, shelf 3, box #1
	Color—HP 1725a	Supply closet, shelf 3, box #2
HP laser printer	HP 2004b	Cabinet under printer, top shelf

Here is an example of a chart:

WEIGHT (LBS.)	DECIMAL EQUIVALENT
1/4	0.25
1/3	0.33
1/2	0.50
2/3	0.67
3/4	0.75
