-2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}JMc.14.5.40. With regard to shielding and length, the scheme on 33G V11 is the best, but this is ruled out due to temperature effects. We find that providing controls etc., located inside the frame member can be avoided, the scheme on 30G V11 is the best, since it is subjected to the minimum temperature, has a reasonably short run, and is cheaper than the other schemes since the cable may be run in flexible conduit throughout its whole length, whereas with the other schemes, steel tubing must be used where the cable passes underneath the frame. The schemes on 1.R.1. and 9B V are safe, and where possible, a cross member should be used to carry the steel tube across from one frame member to the other.
