Chinese term or phrase: 横向垂直平面
Hello,

it is one more time about my test Report.

I have problems with the term 横向垂直平面 in the following sentence:

示廓灯与相应位置灯的相对位置要求：在两灯各自的基准轴线上，视表面上最最相邻的点在一***横向垂直平面****内的投影间距：≥200mm(前/后)

I don't really have an understanding about this 横向垂直平面 and its relation to the surface 视表面. Would be nice if somebody could give me an explanation.

Thank you!
