Part Plan and Elevation of Non-Parallel-Axle Truck Single-Axle Radial Trucks as Used on Glens Falls Car links swing only in planes diverging from the centerline of the car. To be exact, all pins are really onradial lines from the center of axle movement. Whenone of the forward pair of wheels is forced inward,it also moves ahead, while the outward movementof the opposite wheel involves a correspondingmovement to the rear. With the rear pair of wheels(it being understood that the arrangement is sym-metrical, and hence is reversible in so far as carmovement is concerned) inward pressure causes arearward movement for the wheel, while the op-posite wheel has to move forward. Thus, the twopairs of wheels when subjected to the pressure ofthe outer rail on a curve, tend to assume positionssuch that the car is guided around the curve withoutgrinding of flanges. Provision is made so that the links have a tend-ency always to return to the vertical, so that thecar will ride steadily on tangents.
