Andrew again raises such important questions. I originally thought that Payne and Dietrich drove 550-0020. However, we did correspond with a former owner who had bought his car (550-0077) from Tom Payne. This is one of the few owners who could tell us the chassis nr. of his car. He said that when he bought it, he was told that the owner was Payne and that Suzy Dietrich had owned and raced it.
On 30 July 1961, Suzy Dietrich raced 550-0077 - I believe this is correct. I do not think Payne sold 0077 to Suzy. On 20 August 1961 Bowman raced 550-0020 which is correct.
Yes, baring is not bearing. Still, I think people get the idea.
In summary so far as to your comments---I have asked Rolf to look at the photo identifications you question. He is on holiday but we will resolve. As to the Konigswelle in English as vertical shaft...there is no perfect English word. We think what we have is ok.
