Castor:

The angle between the king pin centre line (or steering axis) and the vertical, in the plane of the wheel. If the king pin centre line meets the pound at a point ahead of the vertical wheel centre line, it is called positive castor, while if it is behind the vertical wheel centre line, it is said to be negative castor.
