| -4- Sketch shewing markings on plate. 2nd. X member. 3rd. X member. Dashboard & brkt. & top of side channel. 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. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RB.{R.
