Subject: [DCHAS-L] What is a working definition for eye level?
There are some standards that use the term "eye level" - any one have a reference as to what that would mean from a practical standpoint? Most of us have a particular idea - but I am looking for a reference. And, would think this may have come up in
an FAQ.
