| To Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4260 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/LG20.9.23. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) ll. FRAME DEFLECTION. Y4260 With reference to the Chart of Frame Deflections with and without tie rods which I left at WW. We have gone over the figures again and find that if you will disregard the + and - signs, the deflections are correct. The Chart should not have shewn the load concentrated on one point - the load was distributed at each side. WADE & CROWLEY Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
