EFFECIENCY OF BRAKE TOGGLES, ETC (BENTLEY.)

LEFT Y-AXIS: DEFLECTION OF BRAKE SHOES AT TOGGLE PIVOTS, 1/1000'S MOVEMENT
RIGHT Y-AXIS: % EFFECIENCY
X-AXIS: LBS- LOAD APPLIED AT LAST EXTERNAL 3.5" CENTRES LEVER.

CURVES:
EFFECIENCY
LOAD DECREASING
LOAD INCREASING
100% EFFECIENCY LINE

NOTES:
BRAKE DRUM OILY
