Maybe everyone else has seen this error, too, lets find out. On the Haynes manual for the Spridgets (including the 1500) there is a cutaway drawing of the 1275 round-arch Midget which is shown at the same angle in the photograph inside, sans pretty girl on the cover. There is a fundamental mechanical error in the drawing. What is it? E-mail me the answer. I will keep a list of who to give credit for the right answer and publish it, if you like. When we get enough of them, we'll tell what is wrong with the picture. I can hardly wait for people to point out stuff I have not seen. I don't know what to expect here, whether everybody else already knows this or nobady knows what I'm talking about. I'm not trying to replace rec.games.trivia, I just thought this would be fun. phile@pwcs.stpaul.gov -- Login name: phile In real life: Philip J Ethier Phone: 298-5324
