| -2- contd :- The back plate must locate the engine. This might be bent up at the end to form surfaces and have angles bolted to the frame between which the rubber could fit by being bent the same way as the supporting rubber. SKETCHES. Torsion rigidity of each foot is not of any importance because the 4 feet as a cross is so much more rigid. I think you will find this easier to fit, and less loose pieces, than fitting between the flanges and rubber under bolt washers. It would seem that it would be equally effective. The plate A.{Mr Adams} could have a boss pressed on it bored, tapped and short piece of tube screwed in and brazed. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
