The effect on the vertical response of flexibility of the proposed underframe for the 40 ton GLW covab with taperlite suspension (TM-DA-007)

An analysis of the proposed underframe for the 40 Ton GLW COVAB by the Engineering Application Section has shown that it is quite flexible in the vertical plane, the overall deflection between the headstock and the centre of the underframe being 0.019 in for a uniformly distributed load in the...
