Cylinders as defined in 1.2.1, shall be laid parallel to or at right angles to the longitudinal

axis of the vehicle or container; however, those situated near the forward transverse wall

shall be laid at right angles to the said axis.

Short cylinders of large diameter (about 30 cm and over) may be stowed longitudinally

with their valve-protecting devices directed towards the middle of the vehicle or container.

Cylinders which are sufficiently stable or are carried in suitable devices effectively

preventing them from overturning may be placed upright.

Cylinders which are laid flat shall be securely and appropriately wedged, attached or

secured so that they cannot shift.
