Extract

There has been little practical experience in the United Kingdom on the operation and use of bogie undercarriages, although the de Havilland Comet, the production version of which is fitted with four-wheel bogie main undercarriages, has done enough flying now to give some idea of the snags likely to be encountered.

These remarks are confined mainly to the theoretical and practical advantages and disadvantages of bogie undercarriages in general, with brief descriptions of some of the various types.
