Dear all,
Several months back, there was a posting by Jim Martin:
http://isb.ri.ccf.org/biomch-l/archives/biomch-l-2001-10/00036.html
..that referred to errors in David Winter's book "Biomechanics and
Motor Control of Human Movement". I followed this up because I like this
book very much, and was surprised to hear about the errors. Despite
another reminder on BIOMCH-L (December 10, 2001), I never did hear of
any.
I think it is time for this issue to be resolved, and Ton van den Bogert
has recently received this message from David Winter himself:

It would be nice if people would report errors they find, so that Dr.
Winter can make the necessary corrections for the 3rd edition.
I'm sure we are all eagerly awaiting this 3rd edition of the bible of
biomechanics!
