[VAC] Re: Brake controllers

[Jim Clark <jec1938@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our 50's era trailer had two axles with one being electric and the other 
hydraulic... the hydraulic axle was activated by a slave 
cylinder that was coupled to a cylinder that was tapped into the vehicle 
break lines... the two cylinders were snapped together at 
hookup and the tow and trailer were actually connected by a hose.. about 
1/4'' id or there-abouts....The electric axle was controlled 
by a KH controller and I remember it was adjustable by turning the hand 
activation lever to change the amount of breaking current 
to the trailer when a given pressure was applied to the vehicle 
breaks... worked fine as far as I remember... I could stop quicker with 
the trailer than I could without it....
