APPENDIX 1.5.1

Type a8/b1,5±8

An approximate triangular form with a straight or curved axis and one or both margins with a prominent flexure (a must be at least 0.2 length of b). 2, 8

c. Number of margins with prominent flexure 2, 8, 9, 19

 

 

0.

indeterminate 32

 

 

1.

one 2, 8, 9, 19

 

2.

two 2, 8, 9, 19

d. Position of base of inline (or transverse line if present) relative to lower termination of first flexure (first flexure is closest to apex) 2, 8, 9, 32

 

0.

indeterminate or none of the following 32

 

 

1.

base of inline (or transverse line) at same level as termination of first flexure or is below it 2, 8, 9

 

2.

base of inline (or transverse line) is above termination of first flexure; ratio of height above base of inline to total height (a/b=>0.85) 2, 8, 9, 32

 

3.

base of inline (or transverse line) is above termination of first flexure; ratio of height above base of inline to total height (a/b=<0.85) 2, 8, 9, 32

e. Angle formed by flexure (or range for two flexures) 2, 8, 9

 

 

Recorded in degrees 2, 8, 9

 

f. Apical angle (disregarding convexity or concavity of flexed margin(s)); measured at level of flexure(s) 2, 8, 9

 

 

Recorded in degrees 2, 8, 9

 

g. Shape of first or prominent flexure 21

 

 

0.

indeterminate or none of the following 32

  

 

1.

angle/angle 21

 

2.

angle/curve 21

h. Shape of transverse line 21

 

 

0.

indeterminate or none of the following 21, 32

 

 

1.

straight line terminates at margins at about same level 21

 

 

2.

simply curved or straight line terminates at margins at different levels (perpendicular distance from apex of outline to level at which transverse line intersects margins differ by at least 5%) 21

 

3.

straight or simply curved line extends across sides of inline; one end runs through area between inline and outline, other terminates at flexed margin 21

 

4.

straight to gently curved transverse line above both flexures and terminates approximately at same level 27

i. Height to width ratio of crown (measured from apex to level on transverse line closest to apex divided by width of crown at that same level on transverse line) 27
