ABS in 1969?
I picked up an old "fundmentals of auto mechanics" book at a resale store today. It looks like it's maybe a textbook as it has tests at the end of each chapter.
The copyright is 1969 with no other date listed as an update.
In the brake section it shows how Ford Sure-Track uses a sensor in each rear connected to a "small, solid-state computer" axle to monitor wheel speed. When it senses a change in RPM it reduces the hydraulic pressure on the brakes to allow the wheel to still spin but not lock-up.
I had no idea that ABS was introduced back then. This must have been a huge selling point in the day.
