Though the original rear mounting to N.Sch.5202 has been detailed and issued, the actual cross member has never been finished. We send herewith G.CD.304, shewing this cross member, which is a simple channel section and also the sheet metal brackets which attach it to the cross. This mounting will be used only on the first car, and therefore only the simpliest details need be made. WYM{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} Leo DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
