Sounds workable. BTW, how many other old-timers
remember Harry Ferguson's proposal to build a
totally hydraulic operated auto? He had high-
pressure nozzles at each wheel that were made to
pivot vertically, and thereby could either cause
the vehicle to go forward when the spray was
striking the enclosed vanes above center, and
reversed when the nozzles were below center! It
was quite remarkable in theory, but never made it
to production--obviously. He even incorporated
the braking system into the fine tuning of the
angle of the nozzles. Oh well, maybe someone
else of similar genius will come along, someday?
