There is a set of "fixed dingler" stays and jockey radius slides at St Mary=
Cray, Kent (G&J 1913). They must be more difficult to fit the Hastings sta=
ys; not only is the length of the stay critical but the location of the "fi=
ngler" has to be dead accurate so that it enters the radius slide and engag=
es the jockey.
