Location of B777 STA numbers
Boeing uses STA (Station) numbers to identify sections of the aircraft.
For researching on MH17 I have a question on those STA numbers:
Are these always printed at the exact same location of the part?
Does someone has a drawing showing locations of STA numbers?
Best would be a readable document like this
An example of STA number here (in black)

Well, now you have edited and added the drawing my post looks a bit silly doesn't it?
You have answered the question yourself.

Still you need two more coordinate to locate a place in an airplane fuselage,:
Station is the longitudinal, WL or water Line, and butock line (up/below right/left) and is not boeing, it's an international system

@TURIN:
You posted two silly posts in a single thread. Well done.
I have seen moderators deleting much more usefull postings. Where are the mods when you need them!
If you are able to read those small numbers in that drawing please write those on a drawing so I can read those.
Let me warn you to make sure you write those number a bit bigger otherwise I will still not be able to read those.

Actually, you can read some of the STA numbers on the original drawing.
Those, combined with the knowledge that the window frame pitch on the 777 is 21 inches, are enough to work out most of the intermediate stations.
The only thing you have to be careful about is that the centre section of the -300 has frames with compound STA numbers so that the rear fuselage on both variants can use the same STA values (from 1601 and up).
