1. A system for adjusting vehicle brake cylinder pressure according to the vehicle load condition comprising:

  • a limiting valve having means for continuously varying the pressure of fluid supplied to a fluid operable braking apparatus on a vehicle in accordance with the load carried by said vehicle, said limiting valve having means for sensing a load bearing on a vehicle wheel assembly; and

    means for isolating said load force sensing means from transient deflections of the vehicle not cause by vehicle load, whereby erroneous inputs to said load sensing means caused by such transient deflections are prevented.
