14 Advertisements. FLIGHT AUGUST IST, 194GGOODYEAR LEADS th simple construction single disc brakes \\ ' I 'HE wide acceptance of the Goodyear Single Disc •*• Brake is due to the efficiency which derives from its simplicity of design, operation and servicing. It consists of a steel disc keyed to the wheel. The disc revolves between pairs of brake-linings worked by hydraulic or mechanical pressure. When the brake is applied the outboard lining is moved against the face of the rotating disc. The disc is free to align itself in the wheel and consequently moves inwards enough to make contact with the inboard lining. As pressure is increased the rotating disc is clamped more directly between the linings and its rotation is arrested. The disc is always exposed to the slip-stream thereby ensuring rapid heat dissipation. Light weight is achieved by the simple compactness of the brake assembly and the use of magnesium for the wheel brake. A compensating device automatically takes up wear of the lining and gives maximum braking efficiency all the time. NOTE TO DESIGNERS. Goodyear will give designers and engineers the fullest co-operation in all problems concerning aircraft wheels, brakes and tyres.
