I am trying to gather information about the types of wheel sensors used on LV locomotives from 1960 to 1976. Wheel slip modulators and speed recorders are terms I read about but have no knowledge about which locomotives used these sensors and how they were employed (e.g. where mounted, how many were used per locomotive, etc.). Sources of information for more detail and/or photographs are also desired. Any help is appreciated.
