 2.                     for the mid-point between any 2 consecutive 'Axles', the dimension in millimetres obtained by multiplying the distance between those 2 'Axles' in metres by 33.33; and
     1.               for any other point, 'Ground Clearance' such that if the wheels of one 'Axle' are on one plane and the wheels on the next consecutive 'Axle' are on another plane which intersects the first so that the angle between them is 7 degrees 38 minutes the point will pass over the apex transverse to the vehicle formed by that intersection, as shown in Figure 3.
