Does anyone have a good explanation of metric hole and shaft tolerancing (like 
H7/g6, etc.)?  There are tables floating around on the internet that allow 
one to determine actual size ranges from the call-outs, but I still find this 
system to be cryptic and unnaturally complicated.  Who invented this system?  
What's the rational for the various letter and number combinations?  How 
common is this system world-wide?  Why does it look so similar to thread 
tolerancing?  Surely there's a better way!
