The plate arrangement diagram and the customer drawing typically show the head or
fixed cover on the left. Frame connections are labeled with an H (head) or F (follower)
and a number corresponding to the connection position (Figure 23).
Connection grids are labeled with a four character code. The first character, “G”,
indicates this is a connection grid. The second character indicates the position of the
grid in the GPHE with 1 being the first grid from the head. The third character indicates
the connection position on the grid. The fourth character indicates the orientation of the
connection. Grid connections are labeled as shown in Figure 24.
