Do you mean a component that gets rackmounted, or a
whole rack?
I suspect a whole rack :-)

I have this bizarre image of Tony and friends rolling six full sized
racks into a Bulleid Waterloo and City car.

And that's reminded me of the PDP-11/34 rescue across London
in a Mini. RL-01s, packs, PDP and rescue crew got stuck in
a lift (elevator) until quite late at night. The tube (subway)
had stopped runnng for the night, so everything and everybody
had to go by car. Rather a small car.

Wouldn't that be a "DEC-roof"?

I've *done* that!
I purchased an 11/34 (and a MINC) from the Ohio State Physics Department
about 13 years ago for $500... it came in two racks, VT105, RL02s, RX02s,
and a file cabinet of floppies and docs.
I put one (empty) rack in the back of my 1976 VW Microbus front-side up,
and slid the other rack front-side to the left. The CPU and heavy stuff
went in the middle (no middle bench seat) under the racks.
Still have all the equipment, including the 1976 Microbus.

Are we to infer from that, that laid on their side, they'd be a Lodekka?

You should. That was very lame :)
