On the latest EAC.111 Axle with the parts arranged so that 38° steering lock is obtained in either direction, the turning circles obtained on the road were as follows :- Left hand 47' 6" Right hand 48' This is with the long type chassis. On the present standard long chassis, the minimum turning circle which can be obtained is - Right hand 51' Left hand 45' Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
