Shows how popular the twisted whipstock has always been. Look closely at his lash. It's handmade, the 3 strands cut vertically and plaited in specific order for the proper weight, balance, and action for this type of whip. Beatty picked up on making this whip, and from him, I learned to cut my own. I just sent a new lash to Ivan Henry, very likely the last one I'll cut.
Beatty picked up on Taylor's fighting act performing style, and gave his mentor due credit. The white gloves were not a consistent style point. They share photo history with regular tan gloves as well. When I was with him, he clothspinned his gloves to the screen of a small fan in the Airstream for drying between shows.

I have heard that watching Pete Taylor was where Clyde Beatty got the idea for wearing white gloves. I await Roger's opinion.
