ABS.

To try and keep this on topic, how did Ferguson do ABS
in the early 1970s? I
don't believe they would have used a microprocessor. I'd guess at an analogue
computer, probably not even electronic. Would this be less frightening to Tony?
AFAIR in the beginning, when BOSCH started out with their first ABS controll
systems in _diskrete_ electronics, there was also anoter concourent system
as used by OPEL (GM) working completly on mechanics (I can't recall the
manufacturer/developer, maybe it was done by Opel itself). The price was less
than 50% of the BOSCH system - but in the mid 80's OPEL eventualy also jumped
on the electronic band wagon. THere have been some sevire faults with the
mechanical system - and the usage was limited.
Gruss
