Not all basements are high enough.

In my area, many of the basements are closer to being cellars - just tall 
enough to permit a short person stand up straight. My house is over 110 
years old and in the fifties it was elevated off the foundation and three 
blocks were added to the stone foundation (and the dirt floor was replaced

with concrete).  In fact, several houses around here went through the
same. 
Must have been some kind of post-war optimism thing, and it did work. 
(Neither the DX2L nor the Focomat IIa touch the ceiling.)
