Abstract
An articulated vehicle includes a pivotal connection to permit movement between the chassis portions about a vertical and a horizontal axis. To reduce lateral deflection between the chassis portions a torque transmitting linkage is mounted at roof level and comprises a pivoted link mounted on a vertical pin on one of the chassis members. A pair of lateral links extend from the pivoted link to the other of the chassis members. The lateral links are generally parallel and prevent pivotal movement of the pivoted link upon a lateral force being applied to one of the chassis members.
