Notes
[1]Frame resultant layout
The 3 pits of 3.1 run perpendicular and beside pits A and some of pit B of 5.12R. The clock bell is hung dead off a steel running diagonally between the corner of pit B of the 5.12R and the bottom of the 3 pits of 3.1 which don’t run all the way down the side of 5.12R’s pits A and B.
