September 5, 20215 yr I am fitting some FAKRO windows and they state a couple of dimensions as S + (3 ÷ 5)cm which I would normally take to mean S + 0.6cm (6mm) but other bits of the instructions tell me that I need a 20mm gap and I only have 6mm. I guess the good old Obelus (the ÷ symbol) must have other meanings that I am not familiar with. If I take it to mean 'between' or 'to' then everything seems to work out. Anybody able to confirm my understanding to save me getting on the manufacturers tomorrow.
September 5, 20215 yr Author So it can be range "In Italy, Poland and Russia, this notation is sometimes used in engineering to denote a range of values." Wikipedia. The windows are Polish, in origin, so that makes perfect sense - good spot @SteamyTea every day is a school day!
