Caption:
When compared to PHIL 9057, one can see that consideration was focused on satisfying requirements for all user groups, which included individuals wearing shoes, as well as people who would traverse the grate while seated in a wheelchair. The grate openings were no wider than one-half an inch, thereby, preventing wheels from being caught, as they were in PHIL 9057. The design also prevented crutch and cane tips from being trapped by the grate.
