It might turn out to be one of those things that looked great on
paper but didn't quite work out in real life. * There may be a reason
why that handle is missing, and why there don't seem to be a lot of
other trailers with a feature like that.

I was going to say, it does sound like a neat idea. But then again,
in practicality... if it was such a great idea then everybody would be
doing it.

That's just my opinion.

did you see if the Mfj. was still in buisness? if so, they may have
some info left on it.


It's early innings yet - I just discovered the painted-over builder's plate
this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow when the sun is out I can try to decipher
the patent number. Anyhow, I googled the company, and scuttlebutt is that
it's long since belly-up. (The F.A. Long Company, Benton Harbor, Michigan)
