  • Re: "Bend the knees not the back"

    You might, in addition to asking this question here, want to
    consider posing this querrie, after joining, to the ISPHES Sport History
    Scholars List (SPORTHIST). There may be one or more people on that
    listserv who would be able to share helpful information with you on this
    matter.

    Sincerely,
