Why someone called those
type crane arms as "canadian arms" is just beyond me, since English is
not my native language, besides I never lived in a place where English
is the native language..:-)


Simple...because they were made in Canada by Spar Airospace :)  Hence, they are
Canada Arms (more correctly than Canadian Arms...)

(...) Wow, thanks. I didn't know that. I saw the word "canadian arm" at a web page about space shuttle, so I immediately got it as a technical term..:-) I love lugnet, and not only for the sake of bricks..:-) Selçuk (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) I can't see any emoticon, so I think you get me (really) wrong..:-) I mean mechanical crane arms when I say "canadian arm" just as in Town space shuttles and Aquazone/Space thingies. Why someone called those type crane arms as "canadian arms" (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
