Located within .010 R of true position

I've got this old gearbox drawing. For the position of all the holes, they're all called out this way "...LOCATED WITHIN .005 R OF TRUE POSITION". I've never seen that before, the "R". I know R is for radius, but am I going to be missing something if I just use a straight up .005 TP tolerance for these? All the holes are dimensioned quite clearly with X and Y basics coming off C/L of the part, which is cool.
Any old timers here know WTH?

  • In the legacy TP box, in the middle ("Deviation" section) there's a Display as Radius option.

    Or just double it, but doing it as a radius prevents someone from thinking you doubled the tolerance by mistake.


    The down side of this is the feature size is also shown as a radius instead of a diameter. I would double it and put a report comment stating that print tolerance is .005 R.
