AFAIR in the beginning, when BOSCH started out with their first ABS controll
systems in _diskrete_ electronics, there was also anoter concourent system
as used by OPEL (GM) working completly on mechanics (I can't recall the
manufacturer/developer, maybe it was done by Opel itself). The price was less
than 50% of the BOSCH system - but in the mid 80's OPEL eventualy also jumped
on the electronic band wagon. THere have been some sevire faults with the
mechanical system - and the usage was limited.
