The second Technical Review will be published on Tuesday, March 8, and will deal with frame design and give illustrations of X-brace, cruciform and box-section frames, also examples of composite body and chassis construction. Since this review went to press certain new information regarding frames has become available from the Berlin Show, and an amending paragraph will be published in THE MOTOR on the same date. -1- | ||
