DESCRIPTION
Axially asymmetric compartment. Ra is located on
one side of the compartment. This is slightly more
computationally efficient than the symmetric
counterpart.

Notes:
the
This routine returns many pieces of information about
object type, including the class, size, author, valid actions
and messages, and data fields with the default values which
are assigned when the object is instantiated as an element.
If the field is not readable and writeable, the field is
labeled (ro) if it is protected as read-only, and (hidden) if
it and its contents are hidden to the user.
