NECK FLEXION TEST (S572.193)
__29
Insert the neck mounting plate into the pendulum such that the impact side of the neck is
closest to the honeycomb, screw and tighten with four ¼-20 x ⅝ SHCS. Note that the CG
of the head form is not in line with the centerline of the neck, causing the head form to
“sag.” Figure 35 shows a neck and head form installed for a left side impact. Figure 36
shows a schematic for the configuration viewed from above.
Note -The outermost pot, which is closest to the honeycomb, is used for obtaining Θ Outer
(Figure 39).
