Knock on wheel spinners..Which Way?
There was an extensive discussion recently on the merits of different methods of mounting the tri eared spinners and I don't think a consensus was reached. However, Colin Chapman seemed to maintained the moral high ground despite some eloquent science disputing his method.
I just wanted to post this clip showing an Indy 500 pit-stop in 1950 and the poor sod who's job it was to change front tyres, (plus a bonus clip of a 2013 F1 pit-stop).
It is quite clear which direction is on and off at least in 1950. Does this add anything to the discussion? Anyone spot a procedural error?
