German term

“P-Nr.”

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Engineering drawings - Title block
All,

I am translating engineering drawings for communication equipment. Shown are components of handsets, cradles, etc. All components are injection moulded from plastic.
The drawings are from Germany, drawn in the 1980ies and have fairly standard title blocks following DIN 6771.
There are two abbreviations of fields on the title block that I do not know what they stand for:
One of them is “P-Nr.”
The two fields are located in the very bottom left corner below the “Maßstab” field.
Other adjacent fields are: and “PT-Nr.”, “Benennung”, “Zeichnung Nr.”, “Ersatz für”, “Ersetzt durch”.

Target language is English US.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Peter

We could guess till the cows come home, but I don't think there's any way of knowing what this stands for, and it's probably not important in the scheme of things.

Thank you, Phil.

neutral writeaway : Imo, high confidence for a pure guess. I also agree with the advice in the dbox you agreed with on the other question

That's strange logic to call it a "guess". I'm saying with a high degree of confidence that there's no definitive answer, and you should translate it literally.
agree Cillie Swart : seems plausible

part no. or pos. no.

Probably "Positions-Nummer" (part no. or pos. no.), describing the the parts numbered on an assembly drawing with part list.

I remember such title blocks from own experience (I was designer in the 80ies).
