The fact that he then attributed it to Federico Caprilli merely shows he is a congentital liar.<BR/>Anyway re4search will show the English in 1800 referring to the Forward Seat as Turkish. The Caprilli story is a lie, told as far as we can tell for racist purposes.<BR/>SimonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932637931994448561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282484735530045912.post-67363412589287697182008-12-31T07:51:00.000-08:002008-12-31T07:51:00.000-08:00This is fascinating and great research, but I have...This is fascinating and great research, but I have one query.
