About 15 years ago some students from the university of Prague had a theory that the heads were moved with tubors which acted as a babit bearing rather than the traditional theory of the logs as rollers. To prove it they made a cement head of roughly the same weight and dimensions and pushed it around town using potatoes. It only took a few people to move the head with the spuds...it was amazing (and quite funny) Great photos! |
