[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 11504, member: 456"] Didn't we go through all this a few months ago? In fact the current stand is a development of what Dave originally supplied. The first of his stands did not have the tread down fixing and then when that was incorporated it later had a strengthening bar put across it to triangulate the step down part. I know for a fact the the incorporation of the tread down part was at the behest of Dick Sherwin who repeatedly experimented by having a piece welded on, trying it, then cutting it off and having it welded on at different position until it has maximum leverage. So, no matter whoever designed it first, like almost everything else that works in this world it is a result of development, trial and error. :) [/QUOTE]
