Abstract
A wheel brake anti-lock system comprises a circuit which senses which one of the front wheels turns faster than the other and, in dependence on sensed applied braking fluid pressure, as controlled by the operator, the anti-lock system bases its control characteristics on either the faster, or the slower one of the wheels, thereby favoring either braking effort, or steering and attitude control; when the braking pressure is high, commanding fast stops, braking effort is favored; when the braking pressure is low, attitude control is favored, thus preventing skids on differentially slippery surfaces with respect to the right and left wheels of the vehicle.
