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]

Can you cite a reliable source for that statement please?--Shantavira|feed me 17:22, 8 March 2012 (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]
