Whereas, for reasons of efficiency, high operating rates are necessary for charging and discharging the stacking table 2, the stacking table 2, for example, on the feeder is readjusted via the lifting device, intermittently, such that the topmost sheet can always be freely received by the suction head and conveyed into the machine. The invention is based on the object of proposing a drive and a pr...

When a slip value of the driven wheel of a vehicle on a road surface reaches a predetermined value, the braking force is applied to the driven wheel by means of slip control. The slip control by application of the braking force to the driven wheel is inhibited when the vehicle speed reaches a high speed above a predetermined vehicle speed.
