Note: these bridges are more frequently termed 'turnover bridges' - the article says the term 'roving bridge' is applied to 'side bridges' and this is, in fact, its usual meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.50.71 (talk) 18:30, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
McKnight (1981) and Cumberlidge (2009) both say that "turnover bridge" and "roving bridge" are alternative names for the type where the horse turns through 360 degrees. Bob1960evens (talk) 22:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
