One of the new special titanium undercarrage frame fitted so far is performing
well with no unforseen problems. There has yet to be full stress tests after
fitting and full cure of the retention fittings. I have suggested an initial
drop test of about 2 ft with a solid 'tyre' fitted. Unfortunatly I cannot get
the 'G' meter to fit firmly enough in place.
Seriously folks Ron Swinden is recovering well from his hip replacement. I have
suggested to him that he have a 'G' meter fitted to his hat and jump off the end
of the bed with rubber shoe soles of a known characteristic. Armed with his
trusty slide rule, he can check up on the Doctor's work!
Kath says that all is ok and - after a couple of days - he is beginning to look
well again. He is expected to be in hospital for quite a few more days yet.
