                                            a hands on experience made this
                                            sample.


                                            Using a new material, P&H engineers
                                            are now able to render a more lifelike
                                            version of the product with more tex-
                                            ture and some pliability.


                                            As mentioned on page 6, the new
                                            wheel for Bunnings stores is a MON-
                                            STER travelator wheel. As you can see
                                            in the photo to the left, the wheel is
                                            about 1.4 times as large as our current
                                            travelator wheel.

                                                                                  that dogs really like to shop there:
