Turning Circles.

CJ1/E1/2/24

Referring to the following figures:-

L.H. R.H.
40/50 short chassis ...... (46'3 in a box) 44.10 (struck through) (49'3 in a box) 47.10 (struck through)
EAC.III short ............ 48' 50'5
40/50 long................ 44'9 50'9

is it true that the L.H. turning circle of the short chassis is more than the L.H. turning circle of the long chassis and that there is so little difference between the R.H. turning circle of the long and short chassis, in fact only four inches between EAC.III short and the long chassis?
