Turning in Small Circle. However, it is possible to turn in a smaller circle when travelling slowly than when travelling at greater speed, even though there is no skid, because of the absence of a centrifugal force at low speed.

It is a simple matter to demon-¡ strate this, by taking a car at slow speed in first gear, and setting the steering at full lock.

It will be found when two com- plete circles have been described, that the tracks will coincide.

Now when the car is accelerated up to a speed as high as possible without skid, the path will ecome. a spiral of increasingly larger radius until uniform speed is at tained, this being due to the creep! of the tyres.

Although this is an interesting fact it does not enter into the steer- ing of a normal car, because at all turning circles greater than full lock, the driver automatically com pensates for tyre creep.

A further factor governing the turning circle is the grip between the tyre and ground. Normal dry roads give co-efficients of friction varying from 0.6 to 1.0, but when the surface is covered) with ice, the co-efficient may drop to the order of 0.2.

Now centrifugal force varies as the speed squared, divided by the radius of turning. Thus at a speed of 30 m.p.h. the smallest radius without side skid is 75 feet on a good road of 8 co-efficient, this being very severe "cornering," whereas on ice the minimum radius is 300 ft.
