Draper - Frames} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/G.3.12.38. BENTLEY 111 and BENTLEY 50. FRAME. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1036 Stiffened Starting Handle and Support Bracket. The above scheme shows the starting handle bracket stiffened torsionally, by producing it of box section. We have also lowered it and lengthened the neck of the starting handle and lamp bracket to allow more clearance for the front apron. Please instruct experimentally. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} A.F.M STD W.R.P (SD) I hope you think this is stiff enough. APM | ||
