I believe the 'twos' and 'fours' indicated the number of inches below the knee - you could also get plus sixes and plus eights!

Are kilts similarly graded?
RE: Dixi Winter - Reckless Rat - 08-02-2022
No, if your kilt is properly fitted then it should just touch the ground when you kneel down.

Can anyone provide a pic of ifs?
How was track rod sorted?
Maybe if of best German steel a 12mm? kingpin sufficed.
For any youngsters the camera case would not be for a Leica, the camera which championed 35mm, but for a folding camera with bellows which opens out to provde the long focal length for a relatively large film

This is the best I can offer; basically a swing-axle design retaining the transverse spring:

Thanks Mike
It almost looks like the spring and axle and stub axle assy form a parallelogram rather than a simple swing axle. Almost looks like a single piece track rod, not ideal but not impossible. Hopefully the roll centre wherver it is does not further worsen roll cf whrever it is normally.. Brake lever looks reversed...

A bit like this one I'd expect. It would be so good to have the clockwork trigger to fit to the remote operating push...

If you want to find out a Scotsman's name, put your hand up under his kilt. If he's got a Quarterpounder then his name is MacDonald....

How many budgies can you get up a Scotsman’s kilt?
Depends how long the perch is...
