Ref. 87(iv) Mr Spinney. 20/12/11 Re minute 4c of the 87th meeting. TFB3/1.201211. "It was suggested that a lifting jack should be included in each chassis and brackets fitted to carry it in the chassis. The Committee agreed that this is a good suggestion, but that the expense of such a fitting should be considered. Mr Barrington suggested that the jack might be fitted horizontally in a box projecting inward from the valance or inner edge of the footboard, in such a manner that the base would be flush with the outside of the frame. The Committee agreed that Mr Spinney should be instructed to go into this question. | ||
