LS

English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Bill of Quantities
One of the two abbreviations in the column "Unit", the other one is "nos.", which is most probably "numbers" (I am not quite sure here either). But the next column is "Quantity" and against "LS" is always 1. Looks like:
Unit
LS
nos.
nos.
nos.
