(25.4 mm) smaller in width and length than the inside dimensions of the berth pan.NOTE 9Dimensions G, H, I, and J are shown as nominal dimensions, without
25、 tolerances. Their real value depends upon the tolerance of the thicknessof the mattress and the box spring. The commercial tolerance on these thicknesses is 612 in. (12 mm).NOTE 10Where ceiling heights are low, overhead clearance, Dimension I, should be equalized between upper and lower berths. Min
26、imum clearanceis 20 in. (508 mm).NOTE 11Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 depict the basic berth Types I, II, and III covered by these specifications. If special architectural requirements are neededto match other furniture in the same area, they shall be defined in the ordering specifications and berths will be id
