<< RANDALL: ...current performance thinking is that the Ackerman formula should 
_not_ be followed, because the front tires develop different slip angles at the

1960? >

What about the mighty Triumph Herald, debuting in spring 1959, with its notable 
"reverse Ackerman" steering geometry later used on Vitesses, Spitfires and 
GT6s? :-)
