ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle using a differential apparatus for enabling the operator to quickly stop a skid. A set of electric clutches is attached to the idler pinion gears of the differential and to the spider. A centrifugal switch attached to a pinion responds to rapid rotation of the pinion which occurs during skidding to engage the electric clutches which thereby stop the spinning of the vehicle wheels permitting the drive to regain control. A time delay device maintains the clutches engaged for a short time after the centrifugal switch reopens.
