Rrgards, Jerry.

Conn, I will get back to you as soon as I can to
continue discussion on castors for dolly.
Regards, Jerry.

07/10/2013. Hi Conn, Many thanks for your posting and attached link. I must say the overall design was well thaught out there is nothing to get in the way of your feet or projecting to trip you up. It certainly beats my proposed design which would be circular and therefore would be in the way of fee...

In addition to the points made by Simon I would have to include a whole raft of Health & Safety implecations that would be involved in putting an untrain...

Thanks Dave.
