CENTRAL PA RT CHECKING
This c hecking is performed in the purpose to establish if one of the distortions is not
affecting this floor part, from where the checking starts. Compare the followings lengths : EI = FJ; EJ = FI.
FRONT LONGITUDINAL GIRDERS CHECKING Compare the followings lengths: CG = DH; CH = DG.
If the lengths ( CH - DG) and the diagonals (CG - DH ) are not identical, check again
the point ( 3).
If points (1) and ( 2) are good, the front axle angles may be checked.
