In a free market economy, there's always room for another idea, improvement, or specialty mod. if you have the creativity and means to put it forth.
On a small scale, Jeff's thermostat is a very good example, and even though it "had already been addressed" by the factory one, and the cheap offshore models, he wisely targeted a market segment that wasn't currently addressed, and has continued to revise it to strengthen his position.
There are many other examples, but that's a good one with which most of us are familiar.
And thanks for the link! I'd never heard of that one before.
I never ever condemned or try to stop progression of the better mousetrap! I only threw out some off-the-hip concerns that may, might, or could be an issue..
These days, in our libelous world we inhabit, thinking of all the crap that COULD possibly go south, or abused beyond intent... and preventing it from happening in the first place really takes out the creativity, or the wind out of the sails of progression.
Especially when something is bombing down a public road...
Oh, imagine the absolute cool ideas that have been sacked, or shelved... that we will never see... just for that reason!! Sad.
Personally, I don't care if I , or someone else runs off the road and dies due to recklessness, stupidity, or plain bad luck. It's when they take out a schoobus full of kids; I have major problems then.
I had a couple of semi trucks show up 3 days ago, to pick up some grain I sold.. sure enough, the newer trailer had 'abs equipped'. Got me thinking; So my search found that link.
Next time he shows up, i'll crawl under it and see how the heck an air brake system utilizes this!! It may be an air actuated hydraulic setup..
LOL, as of reading the first post on this thread, I too was unaware of any sort of abs on any trailer!!! Funny how just a simple post will get the wheels turning (pun intended) and 'discovery' ensues!
