Fun, if obvious in hind-site, article (click-through to the lengthy, well-written article linked therein, this is just a quick summary) , about the familiar wear-patterns oft-seen on the sides of single-stick controller cabs. Especially tell-tale on Paccy, because of the painted art-work. Reminds me, that if I ever put together a PM cab, I might consider implementing a partial, clear lucite over-lay, perhaps following cues in the side-art. Or keep with tradition and leave it raw? *ponder*
