The North End
Panel Bracket serves several purposes. One, it encloses the front end of
the Accessory Compartment. Secondly, by the nature of its design, the
panel bracket spans nearly the width of the Base Platform and aids in
preventing flexure or warping at the front of the Base Platform. And thirdly, it is notched
at the top to accept and
support the front edge of the Accessory Compartment Door, for which a
latch of some sort will be installed to secure the door. The North End
Panel Bracket is held to the Base Platform using only two wood screws
for which a hole (one on each side) was drilled to accept a wood
screw through
the tapered ends of the Panel Bracket and then into the Base Platform.
If
you look just above the North End Panel Bracket you will see
the attached Base Truss/ Accessory Compartment Door Divider. I also
serve a number of purposes.
One, it is perpendicularly attached to the ends of the internal left and
right Base Truss Arms as a divider, and secondly as a structural member
near the middle of the base. Also, it will allow for the attachment of a
continuous hinge for the placement of the Accessory Compartment
Door.
