A new method for accomplishing land locomotion by vibrating a mass attached to a skid has been developed. The mass oscillates in an inclined direction, upward and forward, downward and backward. On the up-forward stroke it lifts the skid and pulls it forward; on the down-backward stroke it pushed the skid into the ground and the increased friction inhibits backslide. The report presents the essentials of the theory of operation, design chart, and reports on experiments with test skids. (Author)
