| Hitachi Footprint  Like the other Alweg-style monorails,
          the guideway is constructed as a beam-on-column method. The beam
          is .85m (33.5") wide and 1.5m (59") tall. In a dual-beam
          environment, the distance between the beams is 3.7m (12.14') on-center.
          The support columns are 30m (98.4') apart in some of the systems
          and 20m in others. A newer arched beam design was designed for
          the Kuala Lumpur monorail.
