Presumably they must have a different ackerman configuration for each axle?
How do those modular trailers work, the ones with multiple lines of wheels?
I'm guessing the trailer versions have a different ackerman configuration for
every axle line. But how would you join multiples together? You could add two
identical units back to back without problems, but I don't see how you could add
more.
I beleive the big self-propelled, modular trailers must be able to turn each
wheel unit seperately by electric motor, so that a computer can work out the
correct steering angle for evey wheelset.
