Wheel Size
To enable the wagon to turn in as little space as possible, the front pair of wheels are often made smaller than the rear pair to allow them to turn close under the vehicle sides, and to allow them to turn still further, the wagon body may be waisted. The front wheels of trolleys and floats are small enough to turn under the vehicle's body.
