IV. Single L-Cell: One L-Cell mounted on the web. It can be located on either side of
the web and either side of the load point. It should be mounted equidistant between the
load and the support. This arrangement yields the lowest accuracy performance.
V. Four L-Cells: Four L-Cells mounted back-to-back on the web. One pair mounted
back-to-back to the right of the load point and one pair mounted back-to-back to the
left of the load point. The pairs are mounted equidistant between the load and the
support. This arrangement provides a degree of accuracy improvement over a two
L-Cell arrangement.
