1. An antiskid brake control system for the fluid pressure operated brakes of a vehicle having at least a pair of axles with a wheel at each end thereof, said system comprising:

  • (a) a storage tank normally charged with fluid pressure;

    (b) a brake cylinder device for each wheel of the vehicle;

    (c) a fluid pressure conduit extending from said tank to each said brake cylinder device;

    (d) a brake valve device in said conduit for controlling the supply of fluid pressure from said tank to said brake cylinders and for controlling the release of said brake cylinder fluid pressure;

    (e) sensor means for providing output signals in accordance with the dynamic behavior of but a single wheel of at least one axle;

    (f) evaluation means for providing control signals in accordance with said output signals from said sensor means;

    (g) control valve means for modulating the fluid pressure of each said brake cylinder device in response to said control signals in order to adjust the brake cylinder pressure at the respective wheels independently of said brake valve device;

    wherein the improvement comprises,(h) delay means for varying the degree of fluid pressure adjustment by said control valve means at said brake cylinder device of one of said wheels of an axle relative to the other of said wheels of the same axle, such as to preclude the fluid pressure at the brake cylinder of a wheel without said sensor means from attaining a level corresponding to the fluid pressure level at the brake cylinder of a wheel having said sensor means.
