Just to lighten the midwinter mood of our gentleman's ( and
woman's) sport. My dad was crewing the WGC in Sweden in 1950
and brought back a 2- 1/4" turn and bank. After he sold his LK he
loaned it to Jack Bamberg who installed it in his BG-12. Shortly
thereafter Jack landed in a sewer treatment pond. It has not
worked quite the same since.
