oz hr test

igloo mike:
So I will stay where I am.

A good move in my opinion.

I never saw a B-double during my time in Oz, the late 60s, not sure when they were invented. All the road trains in the Territory were A-doubles and and triples. We reversed the doubles from time to time, but with side loading and unloading at cattle stations and meat works there was hardly any need to.

Something prompted the question the other day in my mind ‘what is the point of B-doubles?’ Perhaps they are more stable regarding swing etc, I don’t know, but someone pointed out that there was less cut in with an A-frame than a B-double. I realised that this was because the B-double 2nd trailer is another artic (semi), whereas the A-frame is a drawbar, and everyone knows that drawbars have less cut in. :slight_smile:
