Wonder if PRR, with a history of avoiding improvements to steam design,
would have considered lateral motion boxes without the 'opinion' of others to
influence them. PRR long resisted modern steam ideas, such as boosters, 4 wheel
trailing trucks, and never designed a 4-8-4 (excluding one electric). For
20 years from the time of WW I until the borrowed technology of C & O's
2-10-4; PRR sort of hid its head in the sand.
