Smith Further to our note E/PSN.3/MN.13/12/34 concerning the SpectreCodename for Phantom III push rod loading, we find an arithmetical error has occurred in the calculation of the collapsing load. The theoretical collapsing loads are as follows:- Present Dural rod. 390 lbs. Steel Rod. 1,150 lbs. E/PSN. | ||
