| MODEL FRAME TESTS. Shearing test. Frame vertical. One channel fixed to angle plate, the load being applied to the other, at its lowest extremity. Table of results: Column Group 1: X member & front tubular member. Column Group 2: X replaced by two extra tubular members. | Load lbs. | Deflec: at D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} ins. | Deflec: at E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ins. | Deflec: at D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} ins. | Deflec: at E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ins. | |---|---|---|---|---| | 100 | .006 | .004 | .045 | .047 | | 200 | .011 | .011 | .095 | .096 | | 300 | .020 | .018 | .147 | .144 | | 400 | .027 | .027 | .201 | .197 | | 500 | .034 | .033 | .255 | .250 | Diagram labels: EXTRA TUBULAR MEMBERS E .200" D LOAD | ||
