Anyone know a good reference site where I can find details of a four-in-hand's traces? Before someone says "Google it", I already have. If I'd been able to find something useful, I wouldn't be posting this. My problem is, I know what a part is, just not what it's called.

Can anybody help?

Home - but for how long?
Where are you driving?

The names differ in the USA.

There are some excellent books but I can only suggest you seek transport museum sites in case they have something.

PDR is right

The names would be different. Let me get back to this. I'm interested to know now.

If no one here knows about a four in hand's traces, what are the odds your reader will catch it if you don't get it exactly right?

Well, I learned what was needed. Fortunately, the character doesn't have an intimate knowledge of them either. It's just my need to know,
