ABSTRACT:
A transmission system which provides a tracked vehicle with a maximum rate of turn that decreases as higher forward gear-ratios are selected and, consequently, high low-speed manoeuvrability combined with relatively low, and therefore safe, maximum rates of turn at high vehicle speeds. This is achieved by means of a modifying differential arranged to rotate a steering input member of a steering differential at a rate equal to a multiple of the rotational speed of a power input member less a multiple of the rotational speed of the output member of a gear unit.
