| Bob....In my opinion a great post! An English dictionary definition of "break" (correct spelling) is actually a "skeleton" wagon, horse drawn. This would have been the equivalent of a basic chassis just ripe for an enterprising coachbuilder. My grandfather/great grandfather both worked on an estate as "beaters" during shoots but now we are getting very off topic! I will not touch the subject again, don`t wish to upset anybody else..... ;-) SteveUK. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Storck Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 6:18 PM Subject: [VintageLambo] Re: Shooting Break/Brake vs. Estate Wagons For instance, Glen Kohut supplied: "Originally, a "brake" was a sturdy horse-drawn wagon meant for off-road use." This is something I had not heard (or maybe remembered?) and am willing to accept it as reasonable. Yet, I"m pretty sure that the original spelling was "break," mainly responding to my readings of 19th century bios and novels. * * * |
