FOR THESE TESTS THE FRAME WAS SUPPORTED AT THE REAR ON JACKS THEREBY ELIMINATING THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE REAR SPRINGS. LOAD LEGEND: SOLID LINE: STANDARD FRAME DASHED LINE: PLUS X MEMBER UNDER RADIATOR DASH-DOT LINE: - PLUS 4 POINT MOUNTING Y-AXIS: TORQUE LBS. FT. X-AXIS: FRAME TWISTED FROM HORIZONTAL DEGREES. θ FIGURES REPRESENT MEAN OF FRAME TWISTED FIRST CLOCKWISE AND THEN ANTI-CLOCKWISE. Handwritten text (left margin): Pulling Space | ||
