IRS discussion

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I see. But if 2 beams were placed side by side and anchored at the opposite 
ends of the wheel lever, then it would be fully independant.

Beam over Beam would be too tall and beam beside beam would require an extra 
long trailing arm on one side.

Man that would take a bit of work though
