[TheForge] Re: Fw: [EK-Equine] Trailering question....

A sad story in American Enterprise.   An impoverished Bantam invented 
the Jeep for the US army on their own dime and at considerable financial 
risk. Army considers it superior to all of its much larger competitors, 
but they assign the build contract to thise very same competitors. 
 Bantam got the order for the trailors as a consolation prize.   That 
must have really sucked.   Unfortuneately, nothing was really patentable 
on it.
