Steering geometry

[saltydwg]

I know what rake is on forks but what is trail?
I want to buy a trike and this is one thing I want to look out for.
Don't want trike to wobble and steer right.

Thanks a lot Death by Snu Snu. This will help if I buy a used trike or I build one.
It seems to be an easy measurement to make.
