Lightened Cross Member between the Headlamps. The attached experimental sketches show the lightened cross member which has proved satisfactory in reducing headlamp movement in conjunction with the bumper bar. We are at present running this cross member on the bump with a view to standardising, but should you wish to modify it in any way we should be glad if you would let us know immediately, as we do not want to have to do our endurance running more than once.
