Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

under a bushel, but former CM technical editor John Moon tells me that we may have done so in the Scania Milestones feature (CM 6-12 December 1990).

Pat Kennett wrote: "Commercial Motor lost no time in getting its hands on this new Swedish truck with a strange sounding name.

Ron Cater handled the test in mid-1966, and he admits that even now he's not sure how to pronounce Scania Vabis".

In fact, John stoutly asserts this account "did CM less than justice, because CM 'discovered' Scania-Vabis long before he (Pat Kennett) suggests. I went to Sodertalje in October 1954 to test a six-tonner (CM 25 February 1955) and an eight-tonner (CM 11 November 1954).

"CM was the first nonSwedish transport journal to road-test a Scania."

The Hawk's thanks to John for putting the record straight — and flying the CM flag.
