Survey of some trends in design of tractors and in braking and roadholding of articulated vehicles; some examples are described and illustrated such as inverted leaf-springs on tandem axle suspension of A.E.C.Mammoth Major tractor; to obtain high roll stiffness and periodicities that are approximately similar when vehicle is laden or unladen, Mercedes-Benz LPS 1923/30 tractor has dual-rate rear springs and antiroll bars on both axles; to prevent rear wheels of tractor with full air-actuated brakes from locking, two components of Automotive Products Antilok system are necessary -- combined air control valve and modulator, and sensor.
