This acts as a damper to all the leverages except
the rear brake levers, and is not upset by any wear
taking place in the brake mechanism. It not anly
quietens the clanking of the servo, but damps out the
noise from the front brake stops, the front equalising
shaft and foot pedal. It does not apply xx any friction
to the application of the brakes, and places no strain
upon release.
