| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c.c. to B.E.A. (Struck through) By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ORIGINAL FRAME TESTS. X7380 (Struck through) 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.
