In a slight defense of bosses, please look at the the footnote
on page 346, Volume I, of IT 1969.  It's not much of a defense,
but it might have saved you some time if it had been a bit
easier to find.  (The rest of that page might be helpful as well.
I found it by looking up "conventions" in the index in Volume IV.)

At last, ammunition to convince my boss to buy a more up to date version of international tables. He is convinced that the 1969 version still tells us everything we need to know - seems section 9 was written sometime within the last 37 years!

Thanks for the help.

Hi Simon

It's in Vol. A, Table 9.3.4.1 'Conventional cells' (p. 758).

i.e. a < b < c for oP, oI & oF (oC is a special case, see Table).

The order is independent of handedness.  If necessary the direction of
one axis is reversed to make the cell right-handed.

Dear ccp4bb,

Could anyone tell me where I can find the index conventions regarding how one specifies unit cell lengths (ie in Orthorhombic, after taking into consideration handedness, do I put the lengths in increasing or decreasing order)? I've been vaguely flicking through international tables for the last couple days without much joy.

Simon
