From memory, UK steam traction engines have the flywheel on the

The saying that you should always look over your right shoulder and
also that a lady should walk on your left, leaving your right,
stronger, sword hand free to fend off assailants may have some

About where the lady walks, I remember something from grade school
where the man walked on the left so the lady would not get hit by
garbage thrown from an upstairs landing. This relates to sidewalks
in villages.
Anyone remember that?
