Oh, I thought it was adjustable AND suspension. Like you could set the angle, and then tighten down the suspension bolt to 'lock' in the angle...while that pivot point also took a beating from the forward forces.
Interesting- its just a loose angle...which makes it seem like the forces against the step at that pivot would be even more than I figured.
Huh, wild historical tech.
