Λ is a lattice and K a bounded, open, convex set in En. An axial diameter of K is the maximal length Xi, of chords of K parallel to the ith lattice basis vector (1 ≤ i ≤ n). A number of properties of the axial diameters are developed. For sets K containing just one lattice point, an inequality is established; when Λ is the integral lattice, this inequality takes the form .
