The side by side boxlock action, shown with the action open, hammers cocked, and hammer block safety on. The boxlock action as used in shotguns was the result of a long evolution of hammerless actions, created by two gunsmiths, Anson and Deeley, working for the Westley-Richards company in 1875.
The side load will no longer be imposed against the front tires, and they will then roll freely to match the speed of the vehicle. This reduces the friction between the front tires and the surface. The rear tires will still be sliding sideways, and the greater friction that exists will cause the back end to trail directly behind the front end ...
