The fighting compartment had a floor comprising 8 removable panels sitting in open frameworks. There was a single, large framework at the front, and two small ones at the rear. By removing the panels, one gained access to four storage boxes, the grease filling taps, the batteries and the transmission shaft etc. The panels were locked into the framework by spring-loaded plungers.
This picture shows part of the front framework, with stowage boxes fixed underneath it. The floor panels are removed.
I fully surveyed the framework and the floor panels, but I didn't find these large stowage boxes with the Bovington Tiger, so I have estimated their dimensions from photos. They seem to be 20 and 22cm deep. The following diagram shows the assembly from the front looking back, and is scaled to 1/35 in inches and centimetres. Note that the 'bridge' in the framework is in the vehicle's center line.
The frameworks rested on a pair of steel U-girders, shown here. The girders were 4cm wide and 5cm tall, and almost 203cm long. They were in turn supported by two large brackets fixed to the hull sides, and by the firewall at the rear of the compartment.
The diagram shows that the top of the girders was 490mm above the hull base plate. The framework was 40mm thick, putting the surface of the floor 530mm above the base plate.
