Sketch shewing markings on plate.

Dashboard & brkt. & top of side channel.

2nd. cross mem.

3rd. X member.

No vertical component.

These tests if not in themselves of any intrinsic value should prove useful in comparison with similar observations on a stiffer chassis.

It is proposed to try bracing the 2nd. and 3rd. cross members diagonally to see if this materially alters the tendency of the frame to distort horizontally.
