This type of final reduction has beenin use for a considerable time on Renault 7-ton trucksand has given very satisfactory results. The rear wheels are built up of sheet-steel rims withflanged edges and sheet-steel spokes riveted to the hub carrying the final reduction gears. Diameter of thewheels is 45% in. and width 11 4/5 in. The front wheelsare of the same design, and have a diameter of 27% are mounted on a straight axle, which is pivotedto the forward cast-steel cross member of the mainframe.
