Electrical protection based on different relative speeds on wheels slipping or sliding and those rotating normally has been developed by American Brake Shoe Co for Diesel electric locomotives; any skidding closes warning circuit and gives continuous warning if pair of wheels become locked; rotary switches applied to motor driven and idle axles of truck shown; effect of prolonged slipping.
