•iv. Advertisements FLIGHT APRIL JRD, 1947 GOODYEAR LEADS with simple - operating single disc brakes SPRING STATIONARY PLATE RETURN SPRING RETURN SPRING MOVABtE.PlATE ADJUSTING PIIJ Behind the efficiency of the Goodyear Single Disc Brake, as more and more aircraft designers are discovering, is the simplicity of its design, construc- tion and operation. This ensures not only maximum reliability in operation but also maximum freedom from any maintenance other than routine over- hauling. This efficiency puts the Goodyear Single Disc Brake, with 20 years of research behind it, in a class of its own in aircraft-brake development. SIMPLEST IN OPERATION: large single steel disc rotates between two rugged brake shoes, mounted in unique clamp that applies smooth equalized pressure either hydraulically or mechanically. SIMPLEST IN CONSTRUCTION: fewer parts than other brakes. LIGHTEST IN WEIGHT: simple, compact as- sembly fitted within magnesium wheel, creating a low weight unit. COOLEST RUNNING: brake disc is mounted flush with wheel rim, exposed to slip stream, ensuring rapid heat dissipation and far longer brake-lining life. NON-FADING ACTION : cooler operation elimi- nates fading from overheating under emergency conditions. EASIEST TO SERVICE: lining wear is taken up by a simple nut adjustment and relining requires only a few minutes without special tools. NOTE TO DESIGNERS: Goodyear will give designers and engineers the fullest co-operation in all problems concerning wheels, brakes, tyres and tubes.
