STRUCTURE OF A SUB-MODULE The Sub-Modules are assemblies that connect together to form Macro-Modules, and these Macro-Modules then connect to each other to form application structures. These Sub-Modules are all identical to each other in all aspects of structure (e.g., mechanically, electronically, operationally). They consist of two different types of bases and a leg. One […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
