I just finished a class at Riddle on the systems of the 747 and yes the 2 body gear do allow steering at speeds of up to 15 Anytime the nose wheel is beyond 20 degrees at less than 15 knots the body gear will turn opposite the nose wheel to tighten the turn. When the ground speed increases to above 20 knots the body gear are automatically centered and body gear steering is deactivated.
