| - 2 - DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/G.1.9.37. N.Sch.5786 shews a modification to the hole for the side steering tube in the front cross member which seems very desirable and which will also have to be investigated. The introduction of welding and elimination of rivets is mainly in the interests of stiffness, and should we think be done where possible on the first frame. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
