Abstract
A rotatable track supporting member for a track-type vehicle has a hub rotatably carried upon a track frame of such vehicle and a rim which is constructed from segmented resilient material so as to reduce the amount of noise generated by the running engagement between the rim and an endless track chain mounted for movement about the track frame.
