Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}2.6.38. 1070 also 1010 BOX SECTION FRAME. We have measured the torsional strength and weight of the Jaguar frame for the purpose of obtaining a comparison between a frame with a cruciform member, and a plain box section frame. The box section frame is 89% heavier, other things being equal. Figures are given in the attached report. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
