Item _space_group.bravais_type

Description

              The symbol denoting the lattice type(Bravais type) to which the
               translational subgroup (vector lattice) of the space group
               belongs. It consisting 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 (see International Tables for
               Crystallography A 1995 edition p.13).
