1. In an anti-slip apparatus for balancing the power transfer between a pair of driven wheels (200,202) when one of the wheels loses traction and rotates faster than the other, said apparatus having first means (212,214) for braking the wheels and second means (216, 222, 220) for generating a slip signal corresponding to any difference in the rotational speeds between the wheels (200, 202), the improvement comprising:

  • third means (230,232,

         242) for actuating the first means (212,

         214) on the faster rotating wheel (200,

         202) to a degree which is variably incrementally modulated in proportion to the difference in rotational speeds between the wheels (200,

         202) in response to the slip signal.
