Had an old gentleman rhat would do this in the nursing home. Master mechanic before retiring..
 
The parts counter at a former job had a very similar chart as a joke. The number of people who asked to order a bolt "just like that one" was astounding.

(And yes, I could have used several during my short tenure there -- one more reason I don't work there anymore)
 
I can still hear his voice, so insistent -- "EVERY VW uses the same bolt pattern! ALL of them do!"

(The same "expert" who tried to tell me that my swingaxle Type I had CV joints)
