| X8380 To R. {Sir Henry Royce} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C.C. BT. {Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} W.Or. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rml/LG23.5.28. FRAME TESTS. X8380 We attach herewith two further tests on the 'X' shaped cross member. The bending test does not seem to have a parallel in actual road conditions but we think it may be of interest. The shear test again indicates the great rigidity of the 'X' member. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} | ||
