What was found, however, was that in every case, the chevron or per chevron line was vertically centered in the area available to it, taking the placement of any secondaries present into account. The notional mid-line of the charge or line of division would nearly always line up with a per fess line drawn centered on the available space. | What was found, however, was that in every case, the chevron or per chevron line was vertically centered in the area available to it, taking the placement of any secondaries present into account.

Pictures help: Notice that on the escutcheon attached as figure 1, the dashed line ''X'' is the per fess line of the entire escutcheon. However, in the presence of the chief, the available space has a notional mid-point line marked by the dashed line labeled ''Y''. Similarly, both chevrons (figures 2 and 3) have a notional mid-point line at ''c'', and the distance above the mid-line (''a'') and below it (''b'') should be the same. | Pictures help: Notice that on the escutcheon attached as figure 1, the dashed line ''X'' is the per fess line of the entire escutcheon.

The following guidelines on chevrons and per chevron field divisions, and their inversions, will be enforced starting at the November 2011 Laurel meetings: | The following guidelines on chevrons and per chevron field divisions, and their inversions, will be enforced starting at the November 2011 Laurel meetings: | ||
* ''Per chevron'' lines of division, ''chevrons'' as a primary charge, and their inversions should have their mid-line placed roughly on the notional mid-line of the space available to them. | * ''Per chevron'' lines of division, ''chevrons'' as a primary charge, and their inversions should have their mid-line placed roughly on the notional mid-line of the space available to them. | ||
