G. The cross section of the posts is symmetrical about the center axis perpendicular to the front and back, and the thickness of metal is reasonably uniform.

mm) centers. Posts are punched the entire length of the post. The top hole is 1 inch (25
mm) from the top of the post. Spacing and alignment of holes is within 1/16 inch (2 mm) of correct center line and distance. Punching is done so that no cracks radiate from the holes.
