   Between 2 vertical longitudinal planes which are symmetrical in relation to the 'H Point' and 400 mm apart; and
   Behind a transverse vertical plane 1.3 m from the 'H Point'; and
   within any transverse vertical plane, "screen zone" means a continuous surface such that, if a sphere of 165 mm diameter is projected in a longitudinal horizontal direction through any point of the zone and through the centre of the sphere, there is no aperture anywhere in the "protection area" through which the sphere can be passed.
