That's neat I was aware that Google were doing something because....
if you click on the link and then enter "Walk Awhile With Me"...should bring up "Walk Awhile With Me" by Philip Morgan (Limited Preview) Click on the image on the left and it takes you to a preview of contents
....on the right go to bookstore....click on Amazon and that's the front cover. It was published a few months ago but only just became available through Amazon. I have 3 more in the works at different stages, Matthew, Luke and John.....

How cool is that! Something to do tomorrow. I love to read.

wow! We built the trailer off a poor downloaded set of plans. It wasn't until after it was done that i found a copy of the February issue for sale on EBAY which we purchased. Afterwards I asked the seller if they had the March issue and they did for the same price. Now it's on line and it's very clear too.

Now I'm going to have to search through for other projects.

So where does it talk about the Papoose? I can't find it.

I made a mistake ... it appears to be a Bowlas Road Chief.
The pic in the article and the links below will help you to see.
I was looking at the back of the trailer in the picture and so
jumped to thinking it was the Papoose, wrongly.


The Bowlus Road Chief Two hundred Road Chief trailers were
eventually produced by the Bowlus-Teller Manufacturing Company, in San
Fernando, California, from 1934 to '36.

“The streamlining of 'The Bowlus Road Chief' is the result of years of
experience in aircraft building and wind tunnel experimentation. Proper
streamlining insures economy, prevents strain on the auto, creates
exceptional riding qualities, and adds greatly to its beauty.”

Dimensions Length—18 feet 6 inches
