Subject:Use of term nominal and nominally From:stephen lubell <steven -at- RADMAIL -dot- RAD -dot- CO -dot- IL> Date:Sun, 19 Jul 1998 15:24:43 -0700
Can anyone expand on the engineering use of the term "nominal" and its
adverbial alternative "nominally"? (As in "nominally -48 VDC) What
synonyms are commonly used for this sense?
Thanks!
