AMS 3B S 30-N-G1-KC-R1-1500-18.5-18.5

AMSA 3B W 30-A-P1-G1-V1-R1-CN-S11-LV-TSU

Based on the Available options icon bar in the catalogue.

	CN	None
	CH	Hard chromium

Standard

	R11	Ref. bottom, scale bottom
	R12	Ref. bottom, scale top (the PDF prints 'scale bottom', which duplicates R11; the icon shows the scale on top, so this is judged to be a PDF typo)
	R21	Ref. top, scale bottom
	R22	Ref. top, scale top
