Abstract

The bogies are connected together via fluid pressure operated reciprocating actuators and pressure lines in order to have the trailing bogie carry out complementary lateral movements to the lead bogie. The actuators each have a longitudinal axis directed at a downwardly inclined angle relative to the central vertical plane of the vehicle and bogies and are each mounted for universal movement on a respective bogie as well as on the vehicle body or a middle bogie.
