X.4054. RE FLEXIBLE CONNECTION FROM CONDENSER HOUSING TO FRAME - N. SCHEME 555.

With reference to N. Scheme 555, I quite approve of this except that I think the wire should go to the supporting foot instead of requiring a special bolt through the frame, and so avoid damaging the paint. It would require a sheet-metal plate under the nut and a small bolt through this plate, and the connector wire should hang thus, one thinks -

I thought this had been made standard fitting long ago.

My impression was that the frame bolt might be considered more suitable unless this nut is quite safe from movement.
