English term or phrase:Cross-cuts
The forms are designed to facilitate computation and thereby reduce computational errors and assist in checking for errors. The training of new measurement personnel is also facilitated through the use of standard forms. These forms are designed for simple voyage and as such may not be suitable for all contingencies. Cross-cuts are provided on all suggested forms to accommodate the various systems of measurement
Explanation: Creo que se refiere a esto, es decir, a que cortan o dividen las piezas o las formas desde diferentes ángulos para poder colocar junto a ella las diferentes medidas o sistemas de medición. Podría ser un sinónimo de "cross-section" (sección transversal), aunque falta un poco de contexto.
