NOTE:
(1) For multiple movements, Design movements (line 10) can be replaced by operating movements, which should
then be described under “Additional Requirements” (line 24). For each one of them, axial compression or axial
extension, lateral deflection and angular rotation at each extremity of cycle, together with the specified number of
cycles, should be indicated. When known, the order of occurrence of the movements should also be indicated.
