... point where an increase in the deceleration rate would induce wheellock. The resulting increase in the forward speed of the wheel is sensed by the "Max aret", which then causes the brake pressure to be correspondingly increased. Completely automatic in operation, this ingenious device leaves the pilot free to concentrate on the other aspects of his lan ding run, and has proved enormously successful in service on many civil and military aircraft. Ferguson engineers, in developing their adv anced 'Ferguson Formula1 4-wheeldrive system, found the answer to the problem of safe braking on the road with this device, the uses of which Dunlop were extending to road vehicles following its succ ess with aircraft. Tests carried out by Dunlop and the Road Research Laboratory in 1958, using "Maxaret" units on all four -wheels of a conventional front - engine - rearwheeldrive car, provided convincing proof of the capabilities of the "Maxaret": during heavy braking a marked increase in both directional stability and controllability was achieved. More recent tests by the Road Research Laboratory illustrate the rem arkable effectiveness of the "Maxaret" system in the form adopted by Ferguson: (stopping distance from 45 mph under EMRGENCY BRAKING on the same test surface). 1. Average of a number of conventional road ...
