This <br />information is general in nature and is primarily designed <br />to be used by an architect who knows little about the <br />trucks which will be operated in a facility he is design- <br />ing. <br /> <br />which, through use of state size and weight laws, enables <br />the calculation of size for that truck requiring the most <br />maneuvering space in a particular state; and (3) a pro- <br />cedure for plotting vehicle turning track. As discussed in <br />the text, the procedures presented for both vehicle size <br />determination and track plot construction contain some <br />simplifying assumptions which make the results derived <br />using the procedures somewhat different from, though <br />close approximations of, actual occurrences. <br /> <br />The information presented contains: (I) some general <br />rules pertaining to truck maneuvering; (2) a procedure <br />
