Question: Can the loading planes be at the same height so long as there 70mm above the support surfaces? The rules state that P1 must be no less than 20mm above the support surfaces and P2 must be no less than 70mm above the support surfaces, but there is no rule about the distance between the loading planes. Does this mean that P1 could be at the same height as P2? The picture implies that the bar needs to fit in between P1 and P2, but this is not stated in the rules.

Answer: No, the two planes MUST be separated by the height of the block that has to pass through at the very least.
