For some odd reason, one of the references in the text regarding "knee-action" morphed to a change to "knew action." This is not what it was originally intended to say.

The term and wording here should have been "knee-action" ...

This was the most widely used and accepted term for a bicycle spring fork in North America until the 1970s when suddenly the street term morphed into "springer."

Nobody in the American bicycle industry was calling these things "springer" during the era when they were actually made.
