As cars grew
progressively lower and cockpits narrower throughout the 1960s and
1970s,
steering wheels became smaller, so as to fit into the more compact
space
available.


Ozzy. I'm surprised at you. Cranzt says the wheel was made smaller for
the following reasons:
"The bigger the wheel, the less feel."
But his posted article only refers to small space for the wheel. You
guys know nothing. The small wheel is for the following reasons:
1) Propper space between arms reduces fatigue.
2) Wheel diameter is proportionete steering ratios.
3) Wheel diameter is small to fit driving tunnel..

And Crantz then posted an essay that disputes his original comments.
Good work fellas! You don't find small wheels on racing boats because
you need to be able to reach it, rather than drive like a truck driver
on Sloco's Depress 30! It's not about feel. That said, the R&P system
delivers more feel than cable based and it's instantly obvious once you
try both.
Ozzy and Crantz think small wheels belong on racing sailboats!!! How
about TWO wheels!!!??

Bwahahahahahahaha!
