THE article by Bill Brock entitled 'Mudwing alternative" (CM, March 2), and referring to spray suppression systems is misleading in stating that:
"Where the gap between each wheel is less than 250mm a spray suppression system is required only on rear trailing axle."
The British Standard states that in the above case, where a flap and valance system is fitted, a suppression valance shall be fitted over each wheel, continuous from the wheel flap behind the last wheel to the foremost point of the tyre on the leading axle. (Paragraph 9 of BS AU200 Part 1).
R. A. MAY Monsanto Leicester • The standard refers both to containment and suppression. On containment paragraph nine applies, while paragraph eight applies to the aspect of wheelflap suppression equipment. — Editor
