ABSTRACT:
A guided vehicle including at each end portion of the body a pair of steerable running wheels adapted to run on track surfaces and a pair of guide wheels adapted to run along guide rails provided at the opposite sides of the track surfaces. A steering linkage is provided for connecting the running and guide wheels so that the former is steered in response to a transverse movement of the latter. A friction type restraining device is provided in the linkage so that the steering movement is not produced by a small amount of surface roughness in the guide rail.
