Doug , if the ackerman is correct the axis of each front wheel crosses the
axis of the rear wheels at the same point . If the left front is turned 1 deg
left and the wheel base is 10 ft the radius of that triangle is 573 ft . If
the front tread is 4 ft the right front triangle (10 x 577) is .0993 deg .
