Let C be a convex subset of a normed linear space E. The following properties of C were studied by Clark [2]:

  1. (1) C is of finite width/ that is, C lies between two parallel closed hyperplanes;

  2. (2) C is of finite width in some direction; that is, for some line L in E there is a finite upper bound for the lengths of C's intersections with lines parallel to L;

  3. (3) C is partially bounded; that is, there is a finite upper bound for the radii of balls contained in C.
