If you go to the following web page you will find a couple of photos of it. www(.)angelfire(.)com/journal/carjockey/fitness(.)html also go onto Manchester Central Library web page. you may find some books on the subject that can be borrowed at a library near you.

I'm sure they will have some information for you. Think the person you need to speak to is James Kelly. Telephone 0161 477 7735 website www(dot)gmfcyp(dot)org(dot)uk Cathy
