Basic principles of Thompson retarder developed to provide means of decelerating commerical vehicles and for controlling forward speed while descending long grades; system transforms rolling energy into heat, most of which is dissipated through vehicle's cooling system; retarding action is applied through petroleum base hydraulic fluid system; mid mount and axle mount installation; components; performance data.
