Re: Radiator Suspension.

Here is N.Sch.3061 shewing the adaption of the single point radiator suspension to the 3" dia. crossmember at the radiator, as it is considered we shall still want the additional stiffness. In order to facilitate the experiment, two things are proposed, firstly, the use of practically the same radiator piece as on N.Sch.3059, secondly a slight re-arrangement of the 3" crossmember to enable it to have a simple bend in one plane.

This is shewn on N.Sch.3062 to follow, and is based on the method of taking down the slipper flywheels indicated on N.Sch.3061 in chalk. If there is any objection to this, we should like to know.
