HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPERATION.
Herewith we send M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} sch. 360S. showing an alternative method of arranging the actuating cylinder with an automatic adjustment, which is alternative to that shown on M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} sch. 3585.
The advantage claimed is that failure of the pawl does not render the brakes inoperative, but simply causes adjustment to cease.
