Explanation of terms

BA = Width of bellows
BB = Width of guideway
B1 = Lateral width to left guide
B2 = Lateral width to the right guide
BU1 = Lateral width of the left lower handle
BU2 = Lateral width of the right lower handle 
b1 = Left guide width
b2 = Right guide width
H = Height of the fold
H1.1 = Height above left guide
H1.2 = Height above right guide
H2.1 = Height of left bellows
H2.2 = Height of right bellows
HG = Total bellows height

h1 = Height of left guide
