[Ascii truck stolen from V. Karlsson, I think.  Originally it was a
non-articulated moving van type.  I crudely made it into a bobtail
semitractor so that it would fit within my line lengths.  I also clumsily
added a "fifth wheel" for authenticity.]

"moving van"???

It was meant to be one of those huge vehicles that have two beds
in the front, behind the driver.

"semi's" in left-pondian, tho nobody knows what a "full" is*.

SGI calls their rig "The magic bus".


CCCH

*means "semi-Diesel", which refers to the type of engine.

Let's articulate this puppy. It need some room atwixt the cab & trailer 
to pivot. And add fuel tanks to the side. Little bin for chains & 
other parts. And the flapper on the smoke stacks. Should raise the
trailer & show the fifth wheel, but this editor's a pain. I believe
this type is called a "cab-over".

Oops. No offence meant. All I really meant was to indicate

And of course I was dumb enough not to notice I posted it to
alt.flame also. What kind of response should I expect :)

Then, as Colonel Hack has already pointed out, you need more room between
the back of the cab and the front of the trailer.  It'll be pivoting around
the fifth wheel when the truck turns, you see.  You may have been working
from a photograph, but I work *with* trucks like that all the time.  Hacky
got it right in his edit, although he could have included a CB antenna on
each mirror--standard on your basic semitractor even if the driver uses
Nextel to talk to his dispatcher.

You seemed to be saying that I had made the motor equivalent to the
two-legged horses, three-legged dogs and flags going against the wind
that we sometimes see here...
