J.M. Suurmeijer Excentrische belasting van het aangepaste Johnny-Walker Systeem Computer program, Report 94.3.TT.4521, Transport Engineering and Logistics.
With the computer programme 'Eureka.pas', written in Pascal 7.0, the results of an unevenly loaded container on the cable-forces of the spreader can be analysed. The calculated cable-forces can be plotted on the screen, after which the resulting displacements of the cornercastings of the container can also be determined.
After a comparison between the results of this computer programme of the original and the modified Johnny-Walker system, it turns out that the modified Johnny-Walker system does not significantly improve the results made by the 'original' system.
