I was once taken to the Spanset factory in Germany for a few days visit, courtesy of a local supplier. I was very impressed with everything I saw and learned a lot about lashing down loads with various materials and why webbing came out best.

I went back to Foden's with an idea for clamping the round fuel tanks with webbing straps in place of steel as we were having big problems with fuel tank rotation at the time. I think it was a step too far for the engineers as they refused to put my idea onto a test vehicle.

Later of course someone found an easier way of making square section tanks which made life easier.
