3.3
orbit height
vertical distance from the highest point of orbit running surface to the lowest point of installation base surface for orbit support
3.4

3.6
swing diameter
for equipment swinging or rotating around horizontal shaft, it refers to the rotating diameter of supporting surface of rider constraint (e.g. seat surface) around the horizontal shaft; for space-gyro equipment, it refers to the rotating diameter of the outermost edge of supporting surface of rider constraint (e.g. seat surface) with rotational motion as the main motion; for equipment rotating around vertical shaft, it refers to the diameter of circle obtained by rotating around the outermost side of seat or rider restraint in static state
