The title says it all.  Thanks to all the replies I've received
over the past few days on mobile robots.  The general consensus
seems to be that Bekker (first name=?) was the definitive
expert on wheel and tread traction.  I've had no luck locating
the book in either of the university libraries around here.
There's a dearth of information in general about wheel and
tread characteristics. (This in itself is interesting and
possibly worthy of further discussion)

In any case, if someone could email me a full citation so
I can try other means of locating the book (eg, talk to
publisher), I'd really appreciate it.

Note to prasad@sunrise.stanford.edu: I got your mail.
Did you get my reply?  If you read this, please send
the info you have to me -- it'd be muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
