British Standard SMITH Bee Hive Frame, Top bars

Tolerances are ± 0.1 mm
Material... Most softwoods are suitable.

Similar to National, these short lugged frames have a 19 mm lug length that is more in keeping with the standards throughout the rest of the world. (The 38 mm lug on National frames only came about due to cast metal spacers that were popular at the time.)
