Oh well, I sit corrected 8-)

It's just that the capstan LOOKS such a swine to operate - have a look at
the operating diagrammes in the GPA manual if you want a good laugh. In
contrast Mr Braden's product is simply as case of hook it on and waggle
the lever, plus you are further out the way in case something untoward
happens.

Obviously a restored M29C or GPA must have a capstan on the deck, and an
ordinary jeep looks quite good with one too, but the sort of tricks you
can do with a drum winch, like winching the truck off the ground or
cutting a car in half - are just that much more difficult with a capstan
type......
