Yes indeed. thanks. I'll pass the correction on to Carl McLelland (the person
who relayed this theory to me, it is actually the work of a third person who
Carl knows but I do not.) If he objects to it (which I doubt he will) I'll let
you know.

stager in the setup with the outside tire larger in diameter (and
therefor radius) than the inner?
That sounds correct. Good thing there's not much straightaway!
