    The "gaseous boundary layer" is a hot rod mechanics explanation for failing self servo effect of drum brakes because it felt like a brick under the brake pedal when it occurred. To counter this effect, brake shoes were drilled and slotted to vent gas. In spite of that, drum brakes were abandoned for their self-servo effect.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brake_fade

    Brake fade is unique to drum brakes because they use self servo action (leading brake shoes) [] whose servo effect relys on the proper friction coefficient, one that reduces at elevated temperatures. I request that justanother cease deleting my re-write of this article and not continue purvey myth and lore.

    Honda RCB with a front ventilated drum brake from Italian accessories manufacturer Grimeca. Drum brakes have a self servo effect. [11] The most common design is a leading-trailing design. More exotic design had four, eight or sixteen shoes. [4] Some motorcycles used finned and/or vented housings for additional cooling, the first of which was ...

    With the series of recall campaigns, Audi made several modifications; the first adjusted the distance between the brake and accelerator pedal on automatic-transmission models. Later repairs, of 250,000 cars dating back to 1978, added a device requiring the driver to press the brake pedal before shifting out of park. [ 39 ]

  7. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

    The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...
