Dynamics are *adjustable* ... BY CAR. I know folks ain't too fond of the 32's these days, but compared to the 16's, 27's and 30's, they were pretty reasonable. Did CONEY/205 in them when I didn't do arnines. But the dynamics were a PAIN in the butt. Apply, have the train thunk in on you like a bucking bronco (nothing in the world was worse than artens for this) and then rubber band on you as they faded and air finally did what it felt like ... I absolutely LOVED AMUE because it was air from first grab to "pssssh-ssss" and what you pulled was what you got with *NO* surprises.44's had JUST started coming in for testing when I left - NEVER got to play with 46's though hung out with cab door open with former coworkers and they hated them. Then again, they weren't 44's either. Heh. When the TA got rid of the spooky stuff and went back to at least SMEE "reason" with the 62's and 68's, the world got a lot better so I've been told. But say what you will with those crammed cabs of todays, ya just GOTTA sit in an arnine, drop the bench and take it in in the museum and see what y'all are missing in comfort. OK, so they weren't A/C'd ... drop a sash and you were OK with the breeze ... and in winter, you GOT heat! And legroom? I preferred to run standing up with my thighs against the dropped bench and could sit if I felt like it. REASON why I call IND "stretch limo" division was that there was PLENTY of room in those cabs back in my day. I've SEEN what they did to the 32's since my day (harump!) but there was a LOT less crap in them back then. And there was room to move. But nothing beat arnines for comfort so long as cold air dropping on your head isn't a requirement. And you NEVER got cold in those cabs if you closed the sash and the door. :) |
