Definition:
The symbol denoting the lattice type (Bravais type) to which the
translational subgroup (vector lattice) of the space group
belongs. It consists of a lower-case letter indicating the
crystal system followed by an upper-case letter indicating
the lattice centring. The setting-independent symbol mS
replaces the setting-dependent symbols mB and mC, and the
setting-independent symbol oS replaces the setting-dependent
symbols oA, oB and oC.
