Further redesign work was carried out in 1937 on the suspension and the small idler was replaced by a larger diameter idler wheel suspended from a rocker arm which was now in ground contact; it did not completely solve the problem.

As for the acting, Ian Stuart seems stiff and ill at ease as Yeats, and Laura Gardner isn't nearly as compelling as Gonne MacBride as she was in her recent turn as the embattled mother in the Road Theatre Company's " Idle Wheels ."

The track ran on four double roadwheels overlapping and interleaved in the so-called " Schachtellaufwerk " design used by nearly all German half-tracked vehicles, mounted on swing arms sprung by torsion bars, track tension being maintained by an idler wheel, mounted at the rear.

It is a record that is purposefully and inauthentically difficult for the sake of being difficult . " " Rolling Stone " gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and said : " " The Idler Wheel . . . " is a challenging album.

The "'rocker-bogie "'system is the suspension arrangement in which there are some trailing arm fitted with some idler wheels, due to the articulation between the driving section and the followers this suspension is very flexible . this kind of suspension is appropriate for extremely rough terrain.

The K�gresse propulsion and suspension system incorporates an articulated bogie, fitted to the rear of the vehicle with a large drive wheel at one end, a large unpowered idler wheel at the other and several small guide wheels in between, over which run a reinforced flexible belt.

The track assembly is made up of four wide rubberised-fabric band tracks reinforced with welded steel cross-pieces; four track guide engagement drive sprockets with nine pairs of polyurethane rollers; road wheels with rubber bands, and four idler wheels ( one on either side is provided with a polyurethane rim ).

The tape was wrapped longitudinally around the drum by idler wheels, so the tape heads, instead of moving across the tape at almost 90?to the direction of motion as in the Quadruplex system, moved across the tape at a shallow angle, recording a long diagonal track across the tape.

You can see from the upper section of the track that it hangs a little loose across the idler wheels at the top-so there isn't much tension in the thing-the amount of weight that would be transferred from one link to the next by their loose horizontal connection just isn't that great.

In very rare cases, the vehicle lacks an idler wheel at all; in Northern regions, one way people got better traction in deep snow was to take a simple three-axle truck, and install a simple continuous track around the rear wheels, thus forming a basic half-track system which featured two drive wheels, and no idler or road wheels.
