RE: [VAL] Wally's original plans built trailers



Royce,

Your question has come up before, and I don't think anyone has an answer. I
presume you are referring to the plans that could be purchased to build
Wally's Torpedo trailer? There has also been speculation that one of his
early trailer designs were published in Popular Mechanics, but so far I'm
not convinced of this because I've taken the time to browse through them
from 1932 to 1937 and couldn't find anything that was actually by Wally. The
best bet for the Torpedo I would think would be to contact Dr. Holman's son,
who inherited the only known Torpedo in existence when the Dr. died
recently. Perhaps the family has a copy of the drawings or blue print? Is
there anyone on the list who knows?
