Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG10.10.23. OBJECT OF TEST. To measure frame deflection on 20 HP. frame with static load. TESTER. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Halliday. CONDITIONS. 20 HP. chassis with frame, axles, engine and crankcase fitted. SUMMARY OF TEST. Attached herewith are prints F.52766 and F.52767 which give results of tests (detail of frame stiffener). We are anxious to know which type of frame stiffeners we should fix to 4-Goshawk-11. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
