Many of the procedures in this Operating Instructions make reference to specific com-
ponents on the AxiChrom column. To facilitate easy identification of a specified compo-
nent, numbers or letters are given within square brackets, [ ]. These correspond to a
commonly assigned item in the diagrams for each of the column sizes in the Appendices.
In some cases bold style characters, either a number or letter may be contained in { }
brackets. These correspond to parts on the 100 column only that deviate from the
commonly assigned items identified in square brackets (see above).
