BOM (Bill of Materials)

All the links within the spreadsheet will retrieve a file in PDF format (Portable Data Format)
that can be read by any computer that has Adobe Reader. They are printable files

The files under the 3D column are 3D solids that can be rotated, zoom-in/out, etc.
For assemblies while viewing a 3D file:
On the left side of the PDF file there is a Model Tree pane, and by expanding it (press +)
all the parts are exposed. A Right Click on a part allows you to make the part Invisible,
Transparent, Isolate, etc.

Description of the columns:
