Abstract
A differential mechanism having two inputs independent of each other and an output is provided in an interconnecting mechanism for transmitting the rotaional angle of a handle to steered wheels. Also a transducing mechanism as a control system is provided which receives the speed of the automobile and the rotational angle of the handle as detected quantities and can control the deflection of the steered wheels after the operation by a driver so as to return the deflection to zero with a control speed dependent on the speed of the automobile. The steered wheels are operated by the output of the differential mechanism which receives the rotational angle of the handle and the output of the control system as its differential inputs.
