Thisassumes that all links are vertical when the truck is in thecenter. Frequently the opposite links are normally inclined toeach other, which somewhat complicates the above simple relationof the forces, although the general principle remains identical. The two-wheeled pilot-truck with shifting center is illus-trated in Fig. 184. The figure shows the facility with which. HSZ|=31itf=i Fig. 184.—Two-wheeled Truck—Shifting Center.
