I wonder what is meant by "better" being horizontal? Could it be interference effects, range, or what.

Think it was a combination of those, it said "less car ignition interference with horizontal!" & "better fringe reception!" It did say that lower that 1 wavelength (about 25 feet on channel 1) or so vertical was better, but when aerial was higher HP became better.
Suppose VP was good for those using set top aerials on the ground floor of houses. When you watch old TV programs like 'Alf Garnett' & 'On The Buses' they're always watching a TV with a stereotypical V shaped rabbit ears aerial stuck on top of it, often moving it around to try & get a better picture for comedy effect...
