"a mutual distance" Explanation: 1. Source text is not clear 2. "Spreaders" not spreader, they are in plural in the source text. 3. Mutual could refer to distance in between spreaders in a group or the distance to spreaders from another group. Not enough context and source text is not very well written, so literally: "Spreaders 17 should be placed at a mutual distance to the horisontal etc......" and "The above-mentioned [you need to insert that to make the sentence work] mutual distance between those spreaders 17 that follow each other should be less than etc..." exp. |
