Abstract

The device operates in conjunction with the vehicle's braking system, and the braking action restrains the vehicle from articulating into a dangerous jackknife attitude. The jackknife control mechanism, composed of four major parts, is described, and operation of the control is explained in terms of geometry of installation.
