FRAME. 427 Please receive herewith the following scheme:- F.GD.322 Rear Bump Buffer. The above scheme shews the rear bump buffer similar in design to Wraith, fixed to the outside of the frame by a simple pressed bracket, in order to obtain a sufficient depth of rubber. We have not previously used a bracket on the frame for the rear bump rubber attachment. Should it prove inadequate for the blows, a thicker guage will be tried.
