SAFETY DISTANCE, FREEBOARD AND DRAUGHT SCALES

The principal scale-marks are the two marks whose distance apart represents the "nominal length" of the measure.

Material measures of length hereinafter called "measures of length" are instruments comprising scale-marks whose distances are given in legal units of length.

Surveys of Slovene public opinion assessed the attitude towards homosexuals using the scale of social distance (e.g. 'whom wouldn't you like to have as a neighbor?'), and on the basis of the respondents' views about sexual relations between two adult persons of the same sex.

In EEC initial verification of measures of length, the maximum permissible error, plus or minus on the nominal length or on the distance between any two scale marks of a measure of length, shall be expressed as a function of the length in question by a formula in the form (a + b L) millimetres in which:

The High-Level Group on the trans-European transport network chaired by Mr Karel Van Miert expressed concern that the delays in the cross-border sections of the priority projects on the trans-European transport network (TEN) were having an adverse effect on the profitability of the investments made by the Member States in the sections in their own country, denying them the benefit of economies of scale, and recommended that the rate of Community financing should be differentiated, according to the benefits to other countries, in particular the neighbouring countries, stressing that such modulation should in the first instance benefit the cross-border projects used by long-distance transport services.

the distance between two non-consecutive scale marks,

on the distance between any two non-consecutive scale marks,

on any other distance between any two non-consecutive scale marks,

The maximum distance between the index and the plane of the scale marks must not be greater than the length of the scale division and must in no case exceed 2 mm or 0,02 L + 1 mm in the case of circular-dial indicating devices (L being the distance between the axis of rotation of the pointer and its extremity).

On scales having graduation marks, the marks must have the same thickness, constant along the length of the mark, which shall not exceed one quarter of the distance between the centre lines of two consecutive marks.

To this end, and in order to allow for reading by interpolation, the relevant window must have, parallel to the movement of the scale, a dimension not less than 1 75 times the distance between the centre lines of two consecutively numbered graduation marks, in such a way that at least two graduation marks of which one will have a figure, are always visible.
