Forthcoming changes to "Technical description"

I'm about to make some changes to the Technical description section that require some explanation. That section currently states:

The Ford-Colotti engine-gearbox assembly was a stressed member and the rear suspension was mounted directly on it, as on the best Formula 1 cars of that time.

But Formula 1 cars of 1962/1963 were just beginning to use that technique. The first significant step was the Lotus 25 (1962), which used the engine-gearbox as a stressed member, but still had a reduced-section monocoque (tub) at the rear, and still had the rear suspension mounted on the tub. (According to contemporary descriptions, the rear part of the tub was mainly there to hold the suspension together when the engine-gearbox was removed.) It was not until the Lotus 49 that the tub ended at the bulkhead in front of the engine, with the suspension pickups on the engine-gearbox (through a minimal subframe for the upper pickups). So I propose:

The Ford-Colotti engine-gearbox assembly was a stressed member and the rear suspension was mounted directly on it, a technique that did not appear in full on Formula 1 cars until the Lotus 49 in 1967.
