Every drawing contained a list of all the parts down to each fastener, bearing and screw. Although my division didn't work on airplanes, the principal for parts procurement was still the same. In this case though each fastener had to be built to a Mil-Spec or military specification. It was amazing the level of detail. I could see why some parts cost a lot more because the specification said the part had to be built a special way, meaning the fasteners and parts had to have tooling set up just to create them. Oh - those were the days. This reminds me of when I used to work for a major defense contractor Boeing Corporation.
