Minor correction.

Two of Fred Robinson's Pawnees did have rope retract winches, but they
were not the Tost ones.

There are lots of really neat stuff in the Tost catalog - including a
tow rope retract winch. *The late Fred Robinson installed them on his
Pawnees. *The resulting increase in operational efficiency from
shorter landings and taxi-backs equaled a third tow plane, he said.

Whose retract winches were they?
