This column is for Name of Person addressed. Platford DATE. 11-9-12 [Main Text] testing rig. Mr Royce is not now interested in either the 9" or the 12" frame but wishes to see figures giving tests on our present frame and on our old frame without the trusses fixed. The 9" and the 12" frames should therefore be dismantled; the parts re-assembled on another frame and these frames stowed away.
