On occasion, I've gotten a few questions about the 'roundtail' versus the
'squaretail' designations tossed about on various email lists.
Roundtail: Spit Mark 1,2,3 and GT6 Mark 1,2 with the, well, uh, sort of rounded
rear end treatments.
Squaretail: Spit Mark 4, 1500 and GT6 Mark 3 with the squared off rear end
treatment.
I can't say for sure, but the origin of the round/square distinction may
be something that originated on one of the team.net lists years ago.
If I ever get *all* the old mail off tape, on line and indexed ...
