I always wondered what it was till I saw a programme about him, if it ever comes on the TV again, it is well worth watching, I had no idea how hard he campaigned for safety equipment etc. Made himself very unpopular at the time, but the lads racing these days with all the protective gear against burns have to thank him for his persistence. He lost quite a few racing colleagues to crashes and fire in the late 60s/early 70s.
