I've got to think about that. The plan was to write a GURPS Vehicle 
matching Heinlein's description. That will be difficult enough, since 
Heinlein wasn't kind enough to time-travel and use Vehicles. 

Additional data points might help me to understand the setting, or
they could make the match even more difficult. For instance, right
now I haven't found anything that would translate into DR, so I'm
free to choose it. Besides, I'm from Germany, that adds shipping 
time. I might put it under the Christmas tree, but that would delay 
this project.
