Thanks for the help...Blip,
BSC: Basic Dimension. Theoretically exact value shown without tolerances.
REF: Reference Dimension, usually without tolerance, for information purposes only.
TYP: "typical" dimension.
The details you seek are all dimensioning standards encompassed in ANSI Y14.5M, search the internet for it and you will find your answers. However I am not sure you will find an online source, a quick search I did only turned up books for sale, no online versions.
The rectangular boxes with symbols and figures is part of the ANSI standard dimensioning where the figures indicate the type of measure/tolerance (center point, perpendicular, surface flatness, parallelism, etc., etc.), the letter usually indicates a datum to which the measure/tolerance pertains and the numerics are typically the actual measure and/or tolerance.
