ABSTRACT:
Steering apparatus for a reversible vehicle of the type adapted to travel on a guideway having at least one guide means extending parallel to the desired course of the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle includes front and rear guideaxle means adapted to follow the guide means together with front and rear wheel assemblies each having a pair of steerable wheels interconnected by tie rod means. The invention resides in the provision of a novel gear and linkage mechanism interconnecting respective wheel assemblies with the guideaxle means such that when the direction of movement of the vehicle is reversed, so also is the direction of rotation of the wheels about vertical axes in response to movement of the guideaxle means in one direction or the other.
