How do they do that?

Though not available on the web (to my knowledge), readers interested in this series might also get a kick out of a show on the Discovery Channel called “How It’s Made”. Each 30-minute episode has four 5-minute shorts detailing the manufacture of some item.

@David: Great point! I thought about the similarities while drafting the post.

How is four front wheel steering: 1.configured, and then,

2.adjusted: caster, camber, toe-in, Ackerman principle?

Thank you.

Was it Tyrell that used four front wheel steering on its Formula One cars for a time?

The cars appeared to be unaffected by this design. I seem to remember that they did no better, but not any worse.
