The tail rotor is canted and features a rigid crossbeam. Later LSIs and those being refitted were provisioned with luffing davits of a crossbeam type. Anchor pylons may also have a switch attached to their crossbeam. Each tower has two columns, joined by an elliptically arched crossbeam above traffic height. The upper crossbeam which lies horizontally, rests between two towers by 70 suspension cables. The fabricated steel crossbeam carries the differential and inboard brakes (if fitted). It moves along the rails through the horizontal crossbeam. The two bogies, each with two axles, were attached to the steel crossbeam. The aluminium body was attached to the crossbeam with leaf springs. Over most of the ribs was laid a slender crossbeam and a thwart. Therefore, the traditional Christian cross with a horizontal crossbeam would also be called "xylon". The identical word with the meaning "crossbeam" is also used in the French language. In October 1859, she was towed to Marquette, Michigan after breaking her crossbeam. However, as described above, the crossbeam is rubber mounted to the body. This methodology was then independently tested by EANTC on the Crossbeam X80-S platform.
