GOSHAWK 11. FRAME DEFLECTION. x4260

With reference to the Chart of Frame Deflections with and without tie rods which I left at WW. We have gone over the figures again and find that if you will disregard the + and - signs, the deflections are correct.

The Chart should not have shewn the load concentrated on one point - the load was distributed at each side.
